## Discrepancy

PULSE LIGHT WAS FIRST REPLACED 9-30-2025 DUE TO LT WIG WAG NOT WORKING, SOLID ON WORKED.  AFTER A MONTH OF OPERATION LT WIG WAG FAILED AGAIN, DIDNT GET TO TROUBLESHOOT AGAIN UNTIL 4-20-2026 AND NOTED THAT AT THAT TIME EVEN SOLID ON DID NOT WORK, SUSPECTED FAULTY WIRING REMOVED LT WING TIP AND FOUND THAT THE WIRING GOING THROUGH ONE OF THE NOSE RIBS HAD BURNED A HOLE IN THE RIB GOING DOWN TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE RIB.  PULSELITE IS ON A 10A BREAKER.
