In our mudroom is a double gang box with two switches. They are both 3-way switches. One controls the light in the room (and another switch in the garage controls this same light) but the other one has been a mystery ever since we've owned the home. The mystery switch is bigger than regular 3-way switch and says "SPEC GRADE" on it.
In the garage switch box (which has the second switch for the mudroom and a garage switch) there is another switch just like the mystery one that controls the garage lights. This is also 3-way because another switch by the outside door turns these same lights on.
So what gives? What is a Spec Grade switch? Also, what is the easiest way for me trace the mystery switch? What may it likely control? The house was built in the late 80s. Thanks!
