## Discrepancy

TIE WRAP WAS MISSING FROM THE CLAMP AT FS 201.50, WHICH ALLOWED THE WIRING BUNDLE CONTAINING THE WIRES FOR THE FLAP SYS PRIMARY MOTOR TO SAG AND CHAFE THROUGH WIRE NR CC75 TO THE FLAP SYSTEM AND PARTIALLY THROUGH LA61 TO THE CARGO AREA LIGHTS ON THE BULKHEAD.  THIS CAUSED THE FLAPS TO ONLY RECEIVE POWER TO THE PRIMARY MOTOR IN ONE DIRECTION.  SINCE WIRE LA61 WASN`T CHAFFED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE CARGO AREA LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING.  (K)
