## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM DCA TO BTV, THE CREW RECEIVED AN OPEN CABIN DOOR LIGHT.  FLIGHT 4149 THEN DIVERTED TO PHL.  WHILE ON APPROACH THE LIGHT CLEARED ITSELF.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND CLEANED THE  DEBRIS THAT WAS FOUND ON THE SWITCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 52-00-00.  OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE PERFORMED AND THE AIRCRAFT THEN PROCEEDED ON TO BTV WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS.
