## Discrepancy

DOOR 2 RIGHT GIRT BAR WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH THE ARM SWITCH, WILL ENGAGE BY MAINTENANCE ONLY.    CAUSE IS NOT FULLY KNOWN AT THIS TIME.  MAY BE CAUSED BY IMPROPER HANDLING OF SLIDE DURING INSTALLATION WHICH RESULTED IN SLIDE PACK BECOMING UNRAVELED AND INTERFERRING WITH THE ARMING PROCESS.  SLIDE WAS REPLACED ON THE AIRCRAFT AND THE DEFECTIVE UNIT SENT FOR COMPONENT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE.
