Dan,

On my 73 that switch controlled a light fixture in the Onan compartment -- mounted in an area adjacent to the switch.

I guess I should have actually switched it on before... but I was skeered.

If it was like the two in mine you wouldn't have learned much when you switched it. Neither one of mine worked.

There is a light, near the front and it works but is probably only
useful at night. One further in would be better but as yet I don't see
one back there. Thanks everyone!

I was told that switch was designed to light the compartment so we could watch the Onan NOT running. Smile
