318 | Section 8 Electrical System ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Monarch SE 2004
1. Headlight Switch: Turns the headlights on and off.
2. Panel Light Switch: Dims the dash panel backlighting.
3. Mirror Control: Adjusts the upper mirror of the rearview mirror. The small
selector in the middle of the switch must be placed in the desired side. The
middle position is to prevent accidental bumping of the switch and changing
the mirror position.
Mirror Care and Cleaning:
After you complete washing the motorhome, clean the outside mirrors
with a good quality glass cleaner. DO NOT use anything abrasive on the
mirror and the outside chrome of the mirror.
4. Mirr Heat: Turns on the heaters in outside rear view mirrors. The mirror
heaters should be used when defogging or deicing is needed. Mirror heat
should not be left in the ON position unless continuous fogging conditions
occur. The outside mirrors have been placed so they can be easily adjusted
with an Allen wrench. After taking delivery of the new motorhome it will be
necessary to sit in the driver’s seat and have the mirrors adjusted for accurate
visibility. Make sure you can see out of both the driver and the passenger
side mirrors before heading out on the road.
5. Accessory Switch: The Accessory switch is prewired with a hot wire and
ground wire for additional accessories which may be added in the future.
6. Battery Boost: The Battery Boost switch is used in the event the motorhome
chassis battery has been drained or is at a low charge level where the engine
cannot start. This switch momentarily “jumps” the house battery to the
motorhome domestic battery to assist in starting the engine. The boost switch
used in conjunction with engine starting procedures should not be held for
more than 30 seconds. This time period is long enough to prevent the boost
solenoid from overheating.
7. Battery Indicator: Indicates a fault in the charging system.
8. Oil Pressure Gauge: Registers oil pressure of engine. An engine
temperature reading in midrange area is considered average.
9. Engine Temperature Indicator: Indicates oil pressure, not amount in
system and registers oil pressure of engine. As oil temperature rises, oil
pressure lowers, even with multivosity oil.
10. Fuel: Fuel gauge will register approximate fuel level in tank when ignition
switch is in run position.
