## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING NR 1 ENGINE START, THE ENGINE START VALVE SWITCH LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. INSPECTION FOUND WIRES DAMAGED DUE TO CHAFING. THE FOLLOWING WIRES WERE FOUND MELTED, BURNED AND SOLDERED.

WIRE WAS FOR THE START VALVE INDICATION AND WIRE WAS FOR THE DISCHARGE BOTTLE INDICATION. THIS PREVENTED THE INDICATION IN THE FLIGHT COMPARTMENT.
