What does the switch in the entrance door frame usually turn on? I'm assuming a light somewhere. It looks like it makes/breaks a ground. It's a 78 Royale, so no wiring schematic available that I can find
TIA,

Shot,
On GMC upfitted coaches the map lights in the cockpit have a three way switch, off, on, and door switch operated. The door switch can also light either a floor lamp in the 23 ft or a light over the sink in the 26.
So, I would think you should at least have cockpit lights.

Shot,
Of course, your's could be different... I am sure you have the link, but for others here is the transmode wiring diagram for 77/78 models with electrolevel 1.

Dennis,
Thanks for the info. I always wondered why those lites had a 3 position switch. That will save me from tracing the circuits.[/quote]

Hi Shot: On mine it also triggers the open door lite and the key buzzer.

On my coach the switch works a telltale light on dash and buzzer when ign is turned on. Can be adjusted somewhat for door open sensitivity.
By changing it to a double contact type swt, anf fish another wire, then it could also activate a security alarm, or a light, or ?.

Mine does the same, but the switch can be off as long as the kry is in it.

Mine turns on the door light in the dash and buzzer when the
ignition switch is on.
