## Discrepancy

(CAN) ACFT RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTURE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ODOR AND A WISP OF SMOKE AT THE CO-PILOTS CONTROL WHEEL. IT LASTED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN DISAPPEARED. MX INSPECTED THE ACFT UPON ARRIVAL AND FOUND THAT THE EDGE-LIGHTED PANEL AT THE CO-PILOTS CLOCK WAS AT FAULT. THE LIGHTING WAS DISABLED AND DEFERRED IAW THE MEL UNTIL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVE. THE AREA WAS INSPECTED AND ADJACENT SYS TESTED WITH NO ADDITIONAL FAULTS NOTED AND THE ACFT RELEASED.
