As previously posted I had the nose oleo strut overinflated one night taxiing out for take off with the strobe lights on and idle power at flight idle because of another relay thinking we were in the air. I did not notice the RAT temp being high but am sure it was and did not know the TOWS was inop. Agressive braking brought the nose oleo switch to ground position and all returned to normal. It must happen regularly so should be a maintenance concern.
This reminds me of another MEL error. I picked up an MD80 on first flight and saw the previous write up was the prior day the APU wouldn't start in the morning. It was MEL'd and flew all day late into the night. Maintenance replaced the battery and faulty battery charger to fix the APU not starting problem. So all day and all night they had no emergency power. In this case they had no TOWS.
