In my electrical compartment (driver's side, forward of front tire), on the left side of the compartment, there is an air solenoid.
it looks like two air lines coming in through a pressure switch assembly and one line going out through the solenoid.
There is also a mystery switch under my dash panel, hanging from a couple of wires. The switch is near the engine diagnostic connector. Looks like a pushbutton, momentary switch. You can only see the switch while crawling under the dash area.
Could this be the air bag blow down system that I haven't been able to find? Or something else?
Thanks,

Robert,
It sounds like the solenoid in the LF electrical bay is for your air horn and the switch under the dash is for ABS (antilock brake system) diagnosis.

I will take a look at the air horn possibility.
I saw another post mentioning that the air horn solenoid was on the passenger side forward of the cabin area, up near the AC evap unit.
On a side note, I don't think this coach has a front accumulator tank for the air horn. My Sahara had a tank up front for the air horns and they came on loud and fast when you hit the button. The Monterey air horns take awhile to build up a head of steam when you hit the button.
A small accumulator tank upfront might be a nice addition,

On our '04 Monterey, there is an air solenoid in the electrical bay that operates the step well sliding cover.
