## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING SCHEDULED ROUTINE INSPECTION, THE LT APPROACH LANDING LIGHT WAS FOUND INOPERATIVE.  DURING TROUBLESHOOTING, RELAY 3341-K1 MOUNTED ON RELAY PANEL NR 2 LOCATED IN THE WARDROBE BEHIND THE FLIGHT DECK WAS FOUND AT FAULT.  VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED SIGNS OF AN OVERHEAT CONDITION.  HISTORICAL REVIEW SHOWS THAT AN ABNORMAL ELECTRICAL ODOR WAS REPORTED 2 DAYS EARLIER.  THE ACFT WAS FOUND SERVICEABLE AT THE TIME AND RETURNED INTO SERVICE FOLLOWING A MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND FLIGHT TEST.
