## Discrepancy

WHEN EMERGENCY LIGHTS SWITCH COVER IS CLOSED, THE EMERGENCY  LIGHTS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY ARMED BY THE SWITCH COVER AND STAY IN THE OFF POSITION. MUST MANUALLY ARM SWITCH AND THEN CAREFULLY CLOSE COVER TO ENSURE  LIGHTS ARE ARMED.  CHECKED SWITCH FUNCTION NORMAL AND NO MX MSG.  ACFT OK FOR SERVICE.
