It's on the wall next to the bathroom. Ours is a 2009. I'll get you a picture of it when I get a chance. Otherwise, the engine has to be off. It might have been added by the previous owner (we got it used) but it's there.
Where and what does this override switch do. We quit selling Newmar in 2008, and we sold and I service them from 1992 till 2008 and NEVER saw any type override switch on a Newmar. Doug
Does your unit have 1 slide? Or does it have more than 1? The reason I ask is- the Ign kill wire is on the Slide control box. The Override switch. From your description, it seems 1 person cannot hold the override and also push the Slide button? They are not located close enough? Doug
I just checked a Canyon Star (2011) we have on trade. I find that Newmar is using a Bosch relay in the 12 volt/120 breaker panel in the bathroom. THAT relay is connected to the 12 volt fused wire that feeds the slide rooms. So, the previous owner of your RV installed that overidde switch. There is NO such switch in this 2011 Canyon Star. One problem people on forums forget is this, IF your unit was purchased USED, then you cannot be sure when you state something about YOUR RV that that item is normal---The original owner may have modified the RV.
