If you know anything about electrical at all it’s pretty intuitive and the way the wires are zip tied and their lengths etc. lends to correct installation. Also there’s a diagram in the AMM.

Ahh, thanks Rich, that is a big help. I have been looking in the meantime into the holes and it indeed shows some triangular pin. Now we have to find the tool. Must be in the bunch of things what came with the aircraft. Generally in a little ziplock bag with a spare correction card and manual. I’ve...

The report from my sample taken Friday included only the AL content. So, I think continuing with Blackstone is required if you want access to the additional data. Full reports are available. Spectro is sending the AL snapshot straight away to get you the quickest possible resolution, but the rest s...
