CORRECTIVE ACTION: DURING INITIAL INSPECTION AND OPERATION OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHT SYSTEM THE ONLY EMERGENCY LIGHT! INOP FOUND WAS THE CABIN DOORSTEP LIGHT (EXTERIOR AT MAIN ENTRANCE DOOR RD FR00S). WE WORKED TO REMOVE THE LIGHT AND FOUND THAT THE CONNECTOR SOCKET (RD P3) WAS PULLED FROM THE CONNECTOR AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REF ITEM 2.5 FOR REPLACEMENT. ALL WORK PERFORMED REF CE680 AMM 33-50-00, WOM 33-50-01 AND SB680-33-03
