## Discrepancy

ON FINAL TO BASE, A SLIGHT ELECTRICAL ODOR WAS NOTED TO BE COMING FROM THE AIRCRAFT VENT/AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.  ACFT HAS AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STC SR00565DE INSTALLED. TECH DISCOVERED EVIDENCE OF OVERHEATING ON THE CONNECTOR ON WIRE HARNESS PN EC-135-8010-3. CONNECTOR IS MADE UP OF A PLUG, PN 03-09-1032 AND A RECEPTACLE, PN 03-09-2022.  NOTIFIED MFG TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND DISCOVERED THAT MFG HAD ISSUED SB EC135-8010 REPLACING THE EFFECTED WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR. MFG HAD NOT TRANSMITTED THE SB AND IT WAS NOT POSTED ON THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT WEBSITE.
