Is my accessory switch likely controlling anything??

[trayson]

So, I was looking at my switches. On the far right, I have an accessory that will power something on in the up position and something else on in the down position.

I didn't get out my test light and I didn't start chasing wires. But I figured I'd ask here in case anyone knows. What if anything is likely to be wired up to this? I have a separate switch for "stereo" and my 12v outlets are wired hot. So is it likely that I have a free switch that I could use for adding stuff to my boat? (Like LED accent lighting?)

Sounds just like the accessory switch in my outback, I assumed it was for ballast pumps and that is what I used it for, up is fill and down is empty.

I already have a bank of 3 switches for my Gravity III ballast system that came from the factory. It's below the throttle and you can kind of make it out in this pic.

My bet is that it's just powered up so the lights on the front work but the switch doesn't control anything. I used it for the heater (up = high, down = low.)

The only double throw switch I think I have is for my heater

It's not your courtesy lights is it? The tiny ones that barely light up the floor and you can't even see in the daytime.

It is for the heater if you had one. All the switches are powered from the factory even if they are not used.

There is a extra switch there,I hooked my LED accent lighting to it.

Same here, I also attached my under water LEDs to it.

What's that funny looking thing in your mirror? Oh, nevermind....


Agree with de others - nice spot for LEDs to tie in.
