## Discrepancy

A HOT ELECTRICAL ODOR WAS NOTED COMING FROM THE FORWARD CENTER CONSOLE AREA.  WHEN THE FORWARD CONSOLE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS PULLED, THE ODOR SUBSIDED.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE PEDESTAL LIGHTS SWITCH BOX AND CONSOLE AREA WIRING.  NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  MAINTENANCE OPERATED LIGHTS FOR 20 MINUTES.  NO ODORS OR DEFECTS WERE NOTED, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
