2020 Era 70B Porch Light Operation?

When I turn on any light, the driver's side porch light also turns on. Even when the light I originally turned on is turned off the driver's side porch light stays on. This happens whether I use the button to control the light, or the smart panel. The only way to turn off the driver's side porch light to use the Master Light button.

What am I missing or doing wrong? I don't want to leave that outside light on and annoy other campers whenever I have any other light on.

Some questions first to avoid confusion?
When you speak of any lights, are you speaking of the interior lights, not headlights, etc for the auto part of the RV?
Are these switches on a six button panel just under the touch screen?
The one in yellow here?

Do these involve/ show on the touch screen in any way?

What I'm leaning toward is that this is a strange one for the normal wiring and switches but might have more electronics involved if working with the touch screen, so just trying to cut the chase if possible!

If not involving the touch screen, I might start with pulling this panel out and looking for any stray wires making a short circuit from on set of wires to another.
Kind of odd situation but then those strange things happen? Perhaps as simple as some form of attachment biting into insulation or wire rubbing against metal some way?

Any useful info in this Revel thread about exterior lighting?
Suggests the switch for the driver side light may be hidden in the water service center, driver's side rear, or nearby.
It could be wired like some of the water pump switches, whre there are more than one, and they all can turn the pump on/off. Or the propane valve open/cose switches, same idea.

Winterbagoal- Thanks, that was it. There are 3 switches by the water hook up/ disposal. Labeled "Water Pump", "Drain Pump", and one unlabeled. I now know that the unlabeled on is for the light, and I've put a label on the switch, in case my memory fails.

Considering it was a guess.

A good guess works as well as anything!

Since I haven't got your tenacity and skill with schematics a good guess is all I've got.
