## Discrepancy

DOOR 2R WILL NOT ARM.  THE CABLE AT BOTTOM OF SLIDE/RAFT ASSY WAS FOUND BROKEN WHICH DISRUPTED THE NORMAL FUNCTION OF EMERGENCY SELECTOR MECHANISM.  THE SLIDE RAFT CABLE SYSTEM IN THE SLIDE LOWER LACING COVER IS A SENSITIVE DESIGN.  RELEASING THE CABLE SYSTEM WOULD DROP THE SLIDE PACK FOR DEPLOYMENT.  IN-SERVICE ABUSE, SUCH AS INADVERTENT IMPACT BY FOOD CARTS, ETC OR BY SOMEONE SITTING ON THE SLIDE BUSTLE COULD TRIGGER THIS UNWANTED RESULT.  REPLACED 2R DOOR SLIDE.
