What was found

DURING LINE CHECK, MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE EMERGENCY PATHWAY LIGHTS AT ROWS 5, 6, AND 7 ON THE RIGHT SIDE WERE INOPERATIVE. THEY REPLACED THE EMERGENCY BATTERY POWER SUPPLY AT ALL FOUR OVERWING EXIT SIGNS BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MAINTENANCE THEN FOUND A CONNECTOR IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA DISCONNECTED. AFTER THE PLUG WAS RECONNECTED THE SYSTEM OPERATED AS DESIGNED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
