M1079 clearance light overload situation

[NDT]

The M1079 has 24 clearance lights all of which run through this one 25 amp breaker in the PDP which in my case is getting too hot to touch and tripping. I am thinking swap to LED bulbs?

Or figure out where the wire is chafing and shorting to ground to pull the extra current... If they have the right bulbs in them(i came up with 28 lights) they should total about 220W and pull around 16A at 13.8V...

look for chafed wiring where it passes thru to the door, mine started popping that circuit due to a short there...

Yep, short. I'd start aft in the hab...
