Older Bounder~What lights do these swtiches control?

Older 2000 Bounder, Ford Chassis.
I have two light switches that I am not sure what lights they control.
One on the driver's armrests says "clearance lights" I assume this is for outside clearance lights at night when parked?
Also, on the genset tank level panel there is a switch marked "utility lights".
The books the previous owners left shown nothing for either switch.

    On my Bounder Diesel the utility light switch turns on the lights in the engine bay at the rear of the bus. I think it may also turn on a light in the freshwater hookup/ gray water/black water dump compartment. Clearance lights are for the rows of lights on front edge (amber) and rear edge of roof (red).




    This is how my '07 is. The "utility" switch does, in fact, turn on the light in the engine compartment, the wet bay, electrical bay, and the light in the genny compartment in the front. I figured utility meant anything you might consider utility area at home.

    The "cc" switch is for the clearance lights, to signal others it's safe to pull back into the lane when passing and to say "thank you". Not sure what the "cc" means......maybe, courtesy clearance....I dunno.

  • On Bounders in the 90s, the utility light switch turns on the under hood light and the left side, out side, utility light.

  • I think the Utility switch turns the light on in the wet bay and clearance switch works like a ICC light switch. I had a Pace set up that way.
  • its been years since I had my Bounder but I think the utility lights switch is for the basement compartments & or the "scare light" on the driver's side.
