Where is the courtesy light switch?
Maybe the dumbest question... but I am stumped.
There is a courtesy light behind my folding entry stairs.
There must be a switch somewhere to turn it on, but i cannot find it.
HELP? 2015 3610RL

It comes on with the upper outdoor light. Usually called “porch light” in control panel.

On our rig, that light behind the steps is controlled by the switch that controls the curb side scare light and also the light above the pin box.

This is how mine came wired. Changed it to porch light switch.

No idea what a curb side scare light is... or how to turn it on.

It is the big round lights up high on your rig, also called flood lights. On your switches, there should be an ODS and a DS flood light switch. The DS (door side) should control the scare light as well as the the step light and possibly that light above the pin box.

Scare lights
Scare light locations and examples (pics below)...I think they are also called security lights.
My security lights have to be turned on with a "button" in the in-command display - they are not motion activated. I associate "scare lights" with motion activation - but that's just my interpretation. Don't know if some Montana models have motion activated outside scare lights...mine are manual.

Actually, I just hung around drinking cold beer while my buddy Joe did the real work. He removed the cover where the switches are and rerouted the Step light wire over to the porch light switch. He does good work for cold beer! Just today noticed my step light is out.....guess I better get more beer.

On ours, they are labelled "Safety Lights" and appear to have yellow LED's under the rear slides and one behind the steps. I assume that is so you don't bang your head on the rear slides, which does happen frequently (don't ask how I know).

The light is wired with a gray,yellow tracer. I moved the wire from scare light switch to porch light switch. I don't really use the scare light(s)
