## Discrepancy

(CAN) NUMEROUS FALSE FIRE WARNINGS UNCOVERED THE POSSIBILITY OF CROSSING THE CONNECTIONS OF THE FIRE LOOPS.  IT IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THERE IS A MALE AND FEMALE CONNECTOR ON EACH CONNECTION.  THE PART THAT MAKES UP THE CONNECTION CAN WORK LOOSE AND STAY WITH THE OPPOSITE CONNECTOR ALLOWING THE CROSS CONNECTION.  THE SUBMITTER NOTES THAT CROSS CONNECTIONS WILL TEST ACCURATELY IN THE COCKPIT.
