[C320-list] Cabin Light Smoking

[Bruce Heyman]

Dennis,
Where was the line burning?  There is always a chance that the short is on the pc board for the new LED.  What is not right is the circuit breakers are sized to protect the wires.  There should be no way to burn up a wire without tripping the breaker.  Glad you were on board to catch it.

Looking around we noticed that the forward cabin light was smoking.  As soon as we turned the light off the smell stopped.  I had recently replace one of my lights with an LED light.  Is there anyway that the new LED light would cause a line resistance that would cause a short further down the line?
