Heater switch?
So I have looked at the manual, talked to the dealer and I think I got this figured out but wanted to ask the community. I have the Talon 313T 2018 and there is a switch under the bathroom sink. I had asked the dealer what it went to and they came back with " Its for the water pump". When I flipped it on, nothing happens. The manual says there "may be a switch in the command center or under the sink and that it is for the 12 heaters on the lines? So first off is it a heater the warms the lines under the RV to keep them from freezing? Is there a length of time as to when run them to prevent damage from overheating? Supposedly there are heaters for the tanks too and they run off the 110 system, but I didn't see any switches to turn them on or off.

Does the Talon have an extreme weather pkg? Tank heaters etc? If so ours is not under the sink and is labeled as extreme weather on the panel .It runs on 12 volt system with thermostats. We have only used when it got near 0 degrees. I have no idea what you have under the sink?

The outside shows to have the 4 season package and the Canada weather package. I will go snap a picture of the switch and the command panel. I was just reading the owners manual again. It would be nice if they came with a build list just like a car did when purchased new.

I have a 413t. I also have a switch like that in the cabinet next to my command center. It's for the tank and water line heaters for extreme weather package. It lights when I switch it on. But didnt till I added a fuse, #18 I think, that it seems the factory forgot. I also have a plug in a lower cabinet by the garage that has some plugs plugged into it. That is also connected to the lighted switch in the cabinet.

So I found the problem. The switch was not plugged in. One of the legs was popped off. The other question I have is on the 110 heated tanks. Is there an on-off switch for that or is that automatically controlled?

Speaking of switches does anyone know how I could get a, on at all times lighted switch, for the interior lights. I know, no labels on the switches is bad but at least I could find the switch in the dark. I am sure the switch would use less power than the lighted usb charging ports.
It should be just an exchange for the present switch.
On my new Octane, I just took the door off the power panel.

Maybe a lit switch that is wired to light when turned off?
