## Discrepancy

(CAN) CREW REPORTED THAT AUTOFEATHER DISABLE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE DURING CLIMB AND DECENT PORTIONS OF FLIGHT. MAINTENANCE DID NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO DUPLICATE WITH SYSTEM PARTS BEING REPLACED FOR TROUBLESHOOTING PURPOSES. TEST FLIGHTS WHERE COMPLETED WITH THE DEFECT ALSO NOT DUPLICATED. THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE A HAIRLINE CRACK AND WAS REPLACED. THE AIRCRAFT HAS FLOWN APPROX. 7 DAYS WITHOUT REOCCURENCE.
