## Discrepancy

ORIG FAA FINDING, LAV LIGHT ASSY, TERMINAL BLOCKS HAVE DRY ROTTED CONNECTOR INSULATION THIS IS FOUND BY REMOVING THE VERTICAL LIGHT LENS AND THAT WILL EXPOSE THE TERMINAL STRIP OR BLOCK THE CONNECTOR ON THAT STRIP WILL HAVE A PLASTIC  INSULATION COATING THAT WILL DISINTEGRATE UPON TOUCH.
