So I just bought a 2016 Cascadia, and it has these mysterious buttons on the dash under the trailer brake:
![]()
They just say OPT 1 and OPT 2. Pressing them does not seem to do anything detectable. The dealer had no idea what they were for either.
Any ideas? And has anyone ever driven for Interstate Batteries? This seems to be a standard option for interstate batteries trucks, the other one from them on the lot also had the same switches.
Let's solve the mystery!

They’re pre-wired power buttins for optional accessories. I have my flashing amber beacons wired to the “OPT” switch on the dash of my 2017 Cascadia.
If you need to add any accessories to your truck you can just splice into one of those switches instead of having to wire to the fuse box and mount a new switch somewhere.Tb0n3, Rounded_nut, Rideandrepair and 5 others Thank this. -
