LANE B FAULT

    Jim, looking at your photo I don't see any cable ties compressing the two connector half's together. Find attached a photo that was sent to me from a rep at Kodiak industries at least a year ago. You must look closely to see two cable ties going around the connector half's axially and two pulling the half's together by being looped through the axial ties.

    Also, the SI directs that the connectors be positioned in a certain fashion before inserting the clamps. I see in the photo that the left connector is not positioned correctly. I assume that has something to do with inserting the clamp.

    You are correct. The SI says "Make sure the connector latch shows vertically to the bottom." Mine is on top.

    Are you convinced that this was the cause for the Lane B light coming on? I test ran the engine yesterday - no Lane lights.

    PS - I ordered 2 of the new clamps this morning.

    Jim, No I am not convinced that solid lane B light is necessarily caused by intermittent connectors. Before I did the cable tie remedy I had flashing lane B light on several occasions. The only solid light was about a month ago while approaching to land. After landing I cycled the lane B switch and no more solid light. Have no lights since. Now if I had the BUDs reader program I could analyze past events to see what the solid light was about. True, I can look at extracted data but have no tables to decode fault info.

    FYI - they were $35 each!
