## Discrepancy

UPON TAKEOFF ROLL THE CREW GOT THE AUTOFEATHER OFF LIGHT AND THE MASTER CAUTION LIGHT. THE CREW THEN OPTED TO ABORT TAKEOFF ROLL AND RETURN TO RAMP WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON RETURNING TO RAMP THE CREW NOTICED THAT THE AUTOFEATHER CIRCUIT BREAKER HAD POPPED, IT WAS RESET BUT WOULD POP AGAIN UPON PUSHING THE LT POWER LEVER FORWARD. THE PLANE WAS BROUGHT INTO MAINTENANCE AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CHAFED WIRE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR THE AUTOFEATHER SWITCH. THIS WIRE WAS REPAIRED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS OPS CHECKED AND RETURNED TO SERVICE.
