## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLAPS FAILED TO EXTEND ON LANDING. FLAPS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY IN THE HANGER. VARIOUS FAULTS CODES WERE NOTED BUT THEY WERE NOT CONSISTENT AFTER RESETTING THE SYSTEM. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE WIRES TO THE P029 PLUG TO THE FCWU HAD FAILED INSULATION ABOUT A INCH BACK FROM THE PLUG UNDERNEATH THE FIRST CLAMP.  DAMAGED SECTION OF THE WIRING WAS REMOVED AND THE PLUG REPLACED. FLAPS WERE RESET ETC. AND OP'S CHECKED NORMAL. THIS PLUG AND WIRING WERE INSTALLED AS PART OF SB 27008 WHICH WAS INCORPORATED ON THE A/C AT 26 AFTT AND 12 TC. (TC NR 20060317012)
