## Discrepancy

ACFT WAS INSPECTED FOR AVIDEYNE WIRE CHAFING ISSUES MFD WAS REMOVED.  INSPECTION SHOWED DAMAGE TO WIRING DUE TO ROUTING.  DURING TROUBLESHOOTING, SHIELDING WIRING WAS ZIP TIED TOGETHER, BUT ROUTING ALLOWED CONTROL YOKE SPROCKET AND CHAIN TO DAMAGE AND CUT WIRING.  DURING NORMAL INSPECTION, THIS AREA CAN NOT BE INSPECTED.  REQUIRES REMOVAL OF MFD.
