I recently purchased a 2007 Jayco Seneca 34SS
Love it so far. But have a question I hope another Seneca owner
can answer. There is a small gray button on the dash next to the overdrive switch. I would like to know what it is for.
Also I would like to hear if Seneca owners that had the 15K springs updated to 19K could tell the difference in handling.

Could it be the emergancy start switch? There's a switch that connects the house eletricity with the chasis battery. That way you can start the engine if the chasis battery is dead. Doesn't the manual show a layout of dashboard contols?

It is the emergency start switch. Sure wish they had put the engine exhaust brake switch next to the OD switch in this same panel, it sure would be easier to reach than across to where it is now located. We added the SuperSprings instead of the 19K springs and they did help. We feared the 19K springs might produce too harsh a ride.

That is what I did. The switch plate size is the same. Just pop off the front of the dash and work from there. It only takes a few minutes.

That's what I did also. Real easy to do. I just spliced some additional wires into the loom and moved it over next to the overdrive lockout switch.
Way better location.
Takes but a few minutes.

Thanks az99, but, this sounds a little intimidating. How is the dash popped off?

The outer most silver cover just has 8 or 10 push clips. Just grab it with your fingers in the top right corner above the trans temp gage and carefully pull it away from the dash. Then you will feel where each clip is as you slowly pry around it. It comes off in 1 piece with the A/C louvers. Some also have a second small piece just around the steering wheel. Tilt the steering wheel down as far as it goes and put the shift lever in low. Engine not running of course. That will give you clearance to pull the whole piece away. Once it is off you will see how the switches just pop in and out and are all the same size so you can move them to any location . There are also some dummy locations that just have block off plates.

I added the SuperSprings because I was afraid the 19K springs would be too harsh for my Seneca 33SS. I'm very pleased with the springs and the ride is good. Also,the springs raised the rear of the coach about 2 inches. I installed the springs myself, but the installation was a real pain and required a special tool from SuperSprings. BTW, the folks at SuperSpring are very friendly and helpful when you call with questions.
