there is an upside down microswitch attached to my steering column. it appears the drive used his left foot to actuate it by raising his toe. does anyone know what it might be??????

also

my bus has had a r-134a upgrade as well as some other obvious changes in the a/c system. manuals i bought dont cover this upgrade. does anyone know where i can get info on what i have

thanks

I believe it might be an acknowledge button for stop call indication from a passenger.

The button is for emergency call. When depressed it sends emergency call to dispatch via radio and also displays need help type message on the signs. It's a crime thing. I believe it sends a transponder message to dispatch with the GPS location.

The switch does indeed send an emergency alarm via the radio system that was installed in the coach. It also activated an "Emergency - Send Help message on the head sign.
