A great feature in Marathon coaches is the ability to easily change out fuses for the LED lights. Dave Bash talks about how to find the electrical panel and where the fuses for the LED lighting are. When an LED light is out in the coach, the corresponding five-amp fuse will have an indicator light so you know exactly which one needs to be replaced. Marathon coaches are designed to be accessible so switching out the faulty fuse is quick and easy.
