## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED WHEN USING REC/TAXI AND LANDING LIGHTS, STRONG ODOR IS NOTICED.  PILOT ALSO REPORTED THE LEFT BELLY LIGHT AND LEFT WING LANDING/TAXI LIGHTS INOP. UPON INSPECTING THE SYSTEM, MULTIPLE BURNED WIRES WERE FOUND ON THE REC/TAXI LIGHT SWITCH LOCATED IN THE CENTER PEDESTAL.  AFTER REPAIRING WIRES AND REPLACING REC/TAXI LIGHT SWITCH PN M8808/93-008, LIGHT WOULD STILL NOT COME ON.  REPLACED RELAY PN MS24166-D2, SYSTEM WORKS AS IT SHOULD.
