Over the last couple of years, more so recently, I=99ve been
replacing burned switches and some wiring to the Tail Nav and Flashing
Beacon. The wire is burning. I had one incident of the wire to the
master relay burning. The indication is the wire bubbles and, in some
cases, burns completely through.
More and more people are leaving the Nav and Beacon lights on
continuously. I don=99t think they were intended to do this, but
I wasn=99t there so I=99m just guessing.
Last Friday, a customer brought in a (late) 1976 Tiger for an annual.
He asked me to look into a left fuel gauge always reading full. I
started at the left sending unit and worked my way up. When I got to
the gauge, I found a very burned Nav Light wire. The connector was
burned. I started taking the wiring bundle apart and found a lot of
burned wires. I mean, every wire in the bundle that plugs into the
connector was burned; including the fuel gauge wires. I ended up
replacing all of the wire for the Tail Nav and Beacon from the connector
(I had to replace the connector it was so badly burned) to the tail with
18AWG wire. The Nav light wires to the wings were OK.
If you are on my AuCountry Aviation Facebook page, you can see all of
the pics.

Second try failed too.
I use Thunderbird as my email client. Under the 'view' button on the
menu is 'message source' or you can use ctrl-u.
However, here's what I said .... without Gary's original, quoted, email.
Linn ...... am I repeating myself???
Gary, the problem isn't with the load being on .... the problem most
likely is that the breaker/fuse is too large (or broke) for the current
capability of the wire. Current high enough to do this much damage to
the wire should have tripped the breaker/fuse way before it got hot.
Breakers and fuses are there to protect the wire, not the devices attached.
I see a lot of problems where owners have 'robbed' power from existing
fuses and because they keep blowing just put in whatever fuse is
available in the junk box. When something happens way down the road,
such as a wire chafing through and going to ground, the wire becomes the
victim because the fuse could handle the current.
