The override switch on my 2007 (just a few years newer so probably not the same function) is for being able to put the Newell in gear and moving it with the slides out or if it thinks they are out. So if your sensor switch fails and the coach thinks your slides are out you can flip the override switch and get into gear and get home or go to get the faulty switch fixed. I have seen a fellow with all his slides out use the switch to change sites at a resort for he was too lazy to bring the slides in and then move.
