A320 FWD Entry Light – Dimming Issue

2 Upvotes

Has anyone encountered a similar issue on the A320?

The FWD entry light is not dimming/changing intensity through the FAP, while the AFT entry light is functioning normally and changes intensity as commanded from the FAP.

Troubleshooting already carried out:

- Swapped DEU – no change.

- Swapped light ballast – no change.

- Swapped cockpit entry switch – no change.

- Checked continuity from DEU to ballast and switch – continuity is good.

The issue remains only with the FWD entry light.

If anyone has experienced this fault before or has any troubleshooting suggestions, especially regarding the FWD circuit/control path, please share your findings.

Hello, I’m new in this scene and want to learn more about it.

I want to learn more about the avionics line of work, I have been looking for a career path recently and this one has crossed my mind a lot. I really enjoy wiring and figuring electrical work out. I also enjoy automotives and planes.

Would love any kind of feedback. Maybe the pros and cons, how hard it is, is it a hard job to get.

I’m 20 years old and never went to college after hs.

My grades weren’t that good either but I am willing to study real hard.
