    Mystery Switch (Battery Boost switch)

    There is a switch on the bottom of the driver's seat of my 2000 FR Sunseeker with the Ford E450 V 10 chassis (See attached photo). I have no idea what it is or what it is for or how to use it. When I pressed it there was a definite electrical sound in the motorhome. Any solutions?
