## Discrepancy

DURING AN INSPECTION, 3 SYSTEMS FAILED, DUE TO SHORTED WIRES.  FOUND 3 CRUSHED, BURNED, AND BROKEN WIRES AND 10 OTHER WIRES WITH DAMAGE.  THE AREA IS IN THE UPPER CABIN AT THE LAV DOOR.  CAUSE WAS A SCREW THAT WAS TOO LONG AND ENTERED A WIRE BUNDLE.  REPAIRED WIRES AND PROVIDED PROPER CLEARANCE.  SB INSPECTS THIS AREA BUT HAD NOT BEEN COMPLIED WITH.  FEEL THIS SB SHOULD BE REVISED TO BE MANDATORY.  A SPECIFIC INSPECTION OF THESE SCREWS BE ADDED.  THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SMOKE, FIRE AND A LOSS OF SYSTEMS IN FLIGHT.
