What is it "supposed" to do? Mind does nothing, though it is outputting 12v. I traced the wire to the fuse panel. The fuse is marked "WIPERS", but so is the the ACTUAL wipers fuse. The output wire looks to be black, but I couldnt trace where it went to...

Any idea?

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Not sure what you have, but I had one wiper and added one on the other side. Found the factory had left a wire there for future use. So I had one wiper but two wires--Ed

Docsnow,

I was just guessing. My 1988 project 32' is straight stock. I will take a look when I get back to it. I am just finishing rebuilding the flybridge which took a beating out in the weather. I put in all new breakers. I was thinking it might be nice to switch off all the topside switches with one switch down below. I set a FB ACC switch up for a DC plug. That could be the role for AUX.

Going with what I would do, I wonder if the designers, at the time a BigM was on the drawing board, thought to themselves, "ok, we've come up with what we think should have electrical protection/activation (with the use of aircraft style switches/breakers), but maybe we should put in 1 additional for the owner in case he/she comes up with a need for an additional circuit?".

ie. - it's there for whatever use will fit the sizing of the breaker.

Just musin' my thots ...
