Light Switch???

I'm just tired of trying to find something in the manual. Please tell me where the switch is to turn on the exterior light on the driver's side about mid ways back. Thanks for taking me out of my misery.

I have a 2002 Ultimate Advantage and the light switch is in the water compartment where the sewer and water hookups are located. Don't know if that is where you'rs is but, might be worth a try.

Yep it's in the water/sewer compartment. One of the rocker switches.
Don't feel bad. Took me 9 months to realize what that switch was for and hot to turn on that light.

If you take a look in the 2011 Tour Operator Manual on pages 85 (power cord compartment, labelled LIGHT) and 100 (water compartment, labelled Outside Light) of the pdf you will see pictures showing the two switches for the driver-side outside light.

Lol ... I had to figure out how to turn that light OFF after noticing it on when refueling one day! I found the switch controls both the outside light and the fluorescent inside the bay, and the fluorescent fixture has it's own switch too on the end of the fixture.

It sure is good to know that when I hear some suspicious noise at night that I can run out, open a compartment door, get down on my knees; and turn on an outside light that would light the driver's side area and scare away any bad characters (if they haven't knocked me out while I'm on my knees)

Wannabe, I know how you feel. I replaced mine with one of the motion sensor outside lights from Star Lights. Took about 10 minutes, I feel a touch more secure.

And since it shines on the "neighbor side" when in a park, I only leave it active when I feel it's necessary for security.
