The 2 red rectangular rocker switches on the inside control panel for the water heater are red in our coach and our last coach Holiday Rambler 2002. Is the electric 120 volt rocker switch in red next to the propane rocker suppose to light up when on? don't think it did on H/R, but can't remember...
Propane switch lights up as well as the little red dot showing ignition.
Reason I'm asking is house battery switch by door the red light next to it is out and found info on it to replace..nothing yet on water heater
Road Glide,
If your switch is anything like the one in the upper left corner of the picture below, then yes, it's supposed to light up. I'm one that tries to fix anything. I even took the switch apart to see what kind of MacGuyver operation I could do on it to make it light up. Not happening. I cruised on down to a local RV parts/supply facility and picked up the exact same switch for about $7.50.
Not anywhere near worth trying to install a new LED or any other form of light bulb in that switch. Just replace it. That switch can be removed and replaced in about two minutes, depending on how tough its access is. Mine was fairly easy in our '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the 330 CAT. That switch sits directly above what's called the "One Place" control panel in the hallway. Good luck.
