## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, FOUND WIRE TERMINAL ON WIRE NR PP19E6, ATTACHED TO TERMINAL NR 2 OF AUXILIARY BUS 'D' RELAY 51P, WAS NOT CRIMPED ON THE WIRE PROPERLY.  THIS LEAD TO INCREASED RESISTANCE AT THIS CONNECTION WITH THE TERMINAL END AND APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES OF THE WIRE GETTING EXTREMELY HOT AND THE INSULATION DAMAGED.  THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE IN THE TAILCONE AREA.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS TO INSPECT THESE TERMINALS FOR LOOSE ATTACHMENT AT MORE FREQUENT INTERVALS.
