Our coach has a map light above the driver's seat as well as the passenger seat. There is a switch for the passenger side but we have never been able to find one for the driver's light. It is one of those things that should have gone on a list a LONG time ago, but we think about it only when we want it on...which happened today! It would seem that it should be on the panel with the sun visor switches and mirror adjustment...but it isn't there...or on the dash...

Thanks,

Fran

Ours is controled by the roller switch on the dash and is the same switch which brightens/dims the speedo cluster. On a regular auto/truck, it is the roller switch that would turn on your overhead dome lights.

JC2 is correct. It is on the rotating switch that controls the dash lights. Go full right with the switch and it should come on.

I use this "where's the light switch?" as a neat little visitor test. Nearly every one fails.

When I bought my 2005 Sightseer, that was among the first questions I asked here... glad I'm not the only one, 'cause I sure didn't see it.
