What was found

(CAN) WIRING TOUCHED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. SYS WAS SHORTING & CAUSED THE TAXI LIGHT CB TO POP. THE ROUTING OF THE WIRING & THE LOCATION OF THE TAXI & LANDING LIGHT CONNECTORS, 826884-2 & 826883-2, INSIDE THE COWL BY THE LIGHTS LOCATES THE CONNECTORS & WIRES TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYS. WIRES TOUCH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD & HEAT ALSO MELTS THE CONNECTORS. RE-LOCATING THE WIRES & CONNECTORS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE.
