## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI OUT, RUDDER PRESSURE AND MASTER CAUTION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED NR 1 RUDDER PRESSURE SWITCH, OPS CHECKED GOOD.  RETURNED A/C TO SERVICE.  ON SUBSEQUENT REPOSITIONING FLIGHT (NON-REVENUE) LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AGAIN.  MAINTENANCE CHANGED BOTH PRESSURE SWITCHES AND DISPATCHED THE A/C UNDER MEL 2706.
