Yes it should turn your ceiling lights on or off. Have you tried it with the power switched on and off, does that do anything different?

May be worth removing panel, unplug cable , leave a minute before replacing plug.

Do you have a way of switching lights on without touching that button? If you have I'd leave it till you're home and can switch everything off, mains and power supply unit. Otherwise I'd un hook electric , switch off psu and try but no guarantee .  I think the panel surround should lift off revealing screws.

In my 2014 wxl lights can be switched on or off individually, or they are controlled collectively using

1 switch facing side door on back of cooker
2 the switch you are talking about on the control panel
3 the switch under speaker at rear nearside of van. 

We tend to leave all three switches well alone and just use individual controls.

On control panel horizontal light shades indicate ceiling lights, while verticle is inside switch for awning light ( also controlled by switch on panel behind cooker)

I am sure there is a good reason for the complexity of the lighting circuits, but beyond my feeble brain to fathom it scratch head

The button is a light dimming button when used by other campers that use the ec480 control system

On our handover, I remember being informed that this button turn the awning light on and off, at which point it was pressed that demonstrated that it had not been configured. I thought it was such a useless feature as the actual awning light switch is easier to access, I left it at that.

Thanks all but when we bought the van and had hand over he said and demonstrated it turns main ceiling lights on/off as well as the switch on back of kitchen and a switch at the back by speaker. Why need 3 beats me but I am one of these that believe if it’s fitted it should work so still under warranty so they can sort it. Thanks all. Kevin
