## Discrepancy

FLT 231 PHX-DTW - ELECTRICAL ODOR - FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED ELECTRICAL ODOR BETWEEN ROWS 3 AND 4 LT.  READING LIGHTS AT ROW 3 WOULD NOT TURN OFF.  HOWEVER WHEN ENGINES WERE SHUT DOWN AND ELECTRICAL POWER REMOVED, LIGHTS WENT OUT.  MX R&R THE POWER SUPPLY AND CONNECTOR DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT DAMAGE.  OPS CHECK WAS GOOD.
