## Discrepancy

THE INSTALLED ME406 ELT G-SWITCH WOULD NOT ACTIVATE DURING ROUTINE MX.  THE ELT WAS TESTED IAW THE MM.  ALL FLASH CODES WERE NORMAL DURING REMOTE SWITCH ACTIVATION.  ALL FLASH CODES WERE NORMAL WHEN THE ELT WAS REMOVED FROM THE ACFT AND THE ARM SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED THE RESET. THE G-SWITCH TEST FAILED.  THIS TEST IS PREFORMED USING A JUMPER WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONNECTOR PLUG PORT.  THE JUMPER ITSELF WAS TESTED AND TESTED NORMAL.  THE ELT WAS DEEMED UNAIRWORTHY AND RETURNED TO THE MFG FOR REPAIR.
