## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI CAPTAIN INFORMED THAT THE LIGHT OF RUDDER TRAVEL UNRESTRICTED DID NOT TURN ON.  PROXIMITY SWITCH WAS VERIFIED AND FOUND A FAILURE IN THE CARD 706.  PROXIMITY SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT FAILURE DID NOT CORRECT.  PROXIMITY SENSORS WERE VERIFIED AND SOME WIRES WERE FOUND BROKEN.  SENSORS WERE REPLACED IAW MM TEST, OK.
