These are two-way rocker accesory power switches that provide fused electric power to up to 5 devices at a time, out of 10. The maximum total power available from these rocker switches is also fused- it is not recommended to exceed the total amperage or you have the lovely time of instead of replacing one or more of the individual fuses conveniently mounted where you can get to them in the cab, but outside in the vrooom vrooom box up front, where its either 115F or -43C or 5K depending on your luck, location, and if youve gone north up past canada where its Really Cold.
The secret to using them is to plan ahead. You might want to make Jiffy-Pop on an electric griddle at the same time as some Orville Reddenbocker microwave popcorn, and wait to use the ButterDome popcorn popper on some indian popcorn and the ConAir AirPopper1980+ on some farmers market popcorn later. Especially if youre baking corn bread in an EasyBake Oven, grits in a crockpot, and makin blackberry yogurt in a Hamilton Beach Home Yogurt Maker.
Popcorn has a lot of fiber.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -

Those numbered switches are for the security code. If it is active and you don't enter the correct code, your truck will shut off after 10 secs. I suppose you could get that de-activated by the dealer, but I'm not sure.
All of the trucks at my company have a similar feature.Rideandrepair and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Learned something new today. Thank you.
Rideandrepair, Highway Sailor and 88 Alpha Thank this. -
You can not do higher math without zero being a number.
The number 9 in this case IS the tenth switch, as zero is the first.
And that is not common core... it is old (and, by the way, correct) school.Last edited by a moderator: Nov 20, 2018

Common Core is just a way to confuse students, not to mention parents.
It has no merit where true learning or thinking is concerned.
True learning and thinking seeks for the most simple rational solution to a problem.
Common Core does just the opposite.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
The ones we have in our trucks will shut down the engine when the parking brake is released.

My neighbor has a child in a charter school. She was working on a math work sheet. I looked at it, I could not understand it. Seems I wasted a lot of time learning calculus.
