## Discrepancy

AFTER DEPARTURE ON FLIGHT 5637, THE CABIN DOOR ANNUNCIATOR ILLUMINATED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN DIVERTED TO PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA WHERE MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE DOOR AND DEFERRED THE ANNUNCIATOR SYSTEM. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS THAT AFTER THE INSPECTION OF THE DOOR, THE LATCH SWITCH ARM WAS FOUND TO BE LOOSE. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE AFT LATCH SWITCH AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN RETURNED TO SERVICE. NO TEARDOWN REPORT REQUIRED.
