## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE, IT WAS NOTED THAT RELAY K62 HAD BECOME EXCESSIVELY WARM AT SOME POINT AND THE HEAT SHIELDING ON WIRE H202A10 THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE RELAY TERMINAL A1 WAS ALSO MELTED.  NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE AFFECTING SURROUNDING AREA.  JUST THE OVERHEATING ON THE RELAY AND WIRE.  RELAY K62 IS FOR THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD HEAT.
