| Subject: | Re: Wiring: Burned |
I pulled the fuse and it was 10 amp. The wire that burned was 51LD3
(from the connector JP-1-1 to the junction with 5LD8/5LD11) and then
5LD4 to the tail light.
I agree, it should have blown the fuse. I have seen the Nav switch
melted as well as the Pitot and the Flashing Beacon. I=99m seeing
more and more.
=46rom now on, I have a line in my checklist to look at this connector.
The pics don=99t come though the archive. Only the emails. If
you are only signed up to the archive, you don=99t get the pics.
They are, however, on the AuCountry Aviation Facebook page.
