I have a 2005 Fleetwood Bounder 32w. There is a toggle switch with the picture of a headlight right behind the controls for the levelers next to the driver's seat. I have looked in my manuals and looked on line and I can not find out what this toggle switch is supposed to do. Can anyone tell me what this switch controls? Thank you.

That switch is to "flash" your upper running lights. best way to tell if its working is turn on your lights and have someone rock the switch while standing outside (in a moderaterly dark condition). You'll see your upper red running lights in the back and upper yellow/orange running lights in the front "flash" as the switch is rocked.

Depending on how its wired, your full headlights might need to be on. Plus there is also a possibility that your headlights will also flash, but I've heard that flashing your headlights is illegal in some states, so the switch might not be wired that way.

I am still not sure what this switch is supposed to do. Is there a way to tell if the switch is working or not?

MY '11 Bounder has a "ICC" switch about the same place. When you see truckers flash their lights after pulling back into the lane, after you flashed your lights, that maybe your switch. I think mine turns the back lights off when the headlights are "ON" and vice versa. Haven't used this switch yet on my "New To Me Bounder".


My 05 32W has this switch in the same location for the same purpose. Good luck.

The service bay lights have their own switch. I think I am just going to call Fleetwood and see if they can tell me what the switch is for.

Might be the service bay lights (not luggage), engine, gen, batteries, dump valves.

I will give it a try this weekend and see if in fact that is what the switch controls. Thanks for the information.

Could it be for daytime running lights?

I beleive it might be for the fog lights, but for the fog lights to work, the head lights have to be ON and on low beams. Give it a try. The reason for headlights to be ON low beams is so you also have tail lights when using fog lights.
