What is this before I mess something up

I've got a '17 Paseo. There's a tiny, very tiny, toggle switch with a cap over next to the TV power switch. What's it for? I can't determine what it does?
Thanks,
Ron

First thought on unknown tiny switches is the switch to turn on the amp for outside TV antenna---but I think of it as different.

I think of a tiny little push button, often set into the faceplate alongside a coax connection.

Do you know of a switch like that or is it possible we are talking the same switch but seeing different things?

Any help in the TV section of your manual?

It’s different. It’s black and round. I can’t figure how to attach a photo. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's easy to attach a photo. Here's a post that explains how to do it.

Looking at the 2017 Paseo Operator's Manual, I see a photo that I think is the button you are referring to... but I do not see any explanation of what it might be.

There is a description of how to make the TV play through the stereo system and it talks about a Mode button but that sounds like its on the TV remote not the wall.

Here's the photo and the button you are asking about is the 2nd from the left below the TV. Correct? The far left button in the middle of the wall is the TV Power switch.

Take a look at page 2 of the Body, 12 Volt Wiring Installation for your coach. The drawing indicates a small SENSOR-TEMP just to the right of the TV power switch. Is that what you are referring to?

BINGO... that's one of those thermistors for the climate control system. It doesn't do anything, just sits there and tells the thermostat what the temp is in the room. Put the cap back on it and do not mess with it.

Help with little unknown toggle switch

Yes, that's the unknown button, right of the TV power switch. I guess I'll make sure that the button is up and just forget about it.
Thanks, all for your help and advice.
