## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF OUT OF FAT, TRIM TAKEOFF WARNING SOUNDED.  ABORTED TAKEOFF.  TRIM WAS SET TO 25 PERCENT MAX (CENTER OF GREEN BAND).  AFTER RESETTING THE TRIM COMPUTER, ATTEMPTED A STATIC TAKEOFF AND STILL GOT THE TRIM WARNING.  REPLACED CORRODED SPLICES BY ELEVATOR TRIM PROXIMITY SENSORS.  OPS CHECKS GOOD.
