Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 737-24A1148Original Issue: December 06, 2001 Revision 2: September 14, 2020 ATA System: 2400 2750 2760 2840 2910 SUBJECT: ELECTRICAL POWER - General - Corrosion Protection of the Electrical Connectors in the Main Wheel Well

THIS DOCUMENT IS SENT TO THE OPERATORS OF RECORD OF THE AIRPLANES SHOWN IN PARAGRAPH 1.A., EFFECTIVITY. IF AN AIRPLANE HAS BEEN LEASED OR SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OWNER.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) which requires incorporation of this service bulletin.

Several operators have reported significant corrosion to electrical connectors located in the main wheel well.

The airplanes in these operations land on runways that are treated with deicing fluids that contain potassium formate or potassium acetate. These deicing fluids are used in multiple locations in the world.

Corrosion is an indicator that the electrical connectors may have been exposed to potassium formate and/or potassium acetate. Loss of cadmium-plating of the electrical connectors may allow a path for moisture ingress which may lead to electrical shorting of the connector. Electrical shorting of the electrical connectors in the wheel well can cause incorrect function of critical systems necessary for safe flight.

Tests conducted at Boeing have demonstrated that corrosion inhibiting compounds (CICs) can be used to form a shield against the contamination and corrosion caused by the potassium formate or potassium acetate. Tests conducted at Boeing have also demonstrated that the recommended CICs do not affect the electrical components or the systems.

The work given in this service bulletin will increase the corrosion resistance of the electrical connectors located in the main wheel well. This will improve the reliability and maintainability of the electrical components that are exposed to potassium formate or potassium acetate.

An evaluation of exposure to runway deicing fluids that contain potassium formate or potassium acetate and repetitive inspections of connectors and application of CICs must be completed at the time intervals given in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 737NG-SRP-26-0056S is related to this service bulletin. Boeing Service Bulletins 737-24-1149 and 737-26-1112 are related to this service bulletin. Boeing Service Letter 737-SL-24-171 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION (PRR 38275-36S) In Group 1 airplanes, remove the seven wire bundle connectors from the LRU components and the disconnect brackets.

Examine the LRUs and replace if necessary. Apply the internal avionics CIC to the LRU connectors.

Examine the seven connectors and backshells and replace if necessary. Examine the contacts for corrosion and replace if necessary. Apply the internal avionics CIC. Mate the connectors. Do an operational test of the affected systems. Apply the external CIC to the connectors. Return the airplane to service.

In Group 2 airplanes, apply the internal avionics CIC to the LRU connectors. Apply the internal avionics CIC to the seven connectors. Apply the external CIC to the seven connectors. Mate the connectors. Do an operational test of the affected systems. Apply the external CIC to the connectors. Return the airplane to service.

In Group 1 through 3 airplanes, examine the connectors and backshells and replace if necessary. Complete operational tests if the connector has been disconnected or replaced. Apply CICs at the time intervals given in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

EFFECTIVITY See Effectivity section 1.A.

COMPLIANCE Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making NPRM 2019-NM-165-AD is related to this service bulletin.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2005-18-23 is related to this service bulletin.

The effective date of AD 2005-18-23 is October 19, 2005.

Group 1-2:

Boeing recommends that operators accomplish this service bulletin within 12 months of the release date of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.

Group 3:

Boeing recommends that operators accomplish this service bulletin within 12 months of the release date of Revision 1 of this service bulletin or 12 months after delivery date of the airplane whichever occurs later.

Connector and backshell replacement is required immediately if the cumulative area of corrosion is greater than 10% of the total backshell area. If the cumulative area of corrosion is less than 10% of the total backshell surface area, the backshell may be cleaned only.

Boeing recommends that each operator request data about the components of the fluids used to deice the runways that support their operations. Use this information to determine the applicability of the changes and inspections given in this service bulletin.

ALERTALERT

For airplanes which are exposed to runway deicing fluids that contain potassium formate or potassium acetate, within 90 days of making this determination Boeing recommends the examination of connectors and application of CICs, with a repeat intervalevery 24 months. For airplanes which are not exposed to runway deicing fluids that contain potassium formate or potassium acetate, no inspections are required. A re-evaluation of exposure must be completed at 12 month intervals. If future exposure occurs, complete this service bulletin.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION Boeing warranty remedies are not available for the configuration changes and inspections given in this service bulletin.
