## Discrepancy

ON SERVICE CHECK, FOUND SEAT ROWS 1-4 EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO BE INOPERATIVE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND EMERGENCY LIGHT BATTERIES DEAD.  REPLACED BATTERIES WITH SPARE ONE.  LIGHTS WOULD NOT EXTINGUISH AFTER TEST.  FOUND GROUND WIRE PINCHED BETWEEN ROW 1 AND ROW 2.  REPAIRED WIRE AND LIGHTS NOW TEST GOOD.  AIRCRAFT OK FOR SERVICE.
