This is starting to look like it is not quite as straight forward as first thought.
Still awaiting Boeing recommendations to the operators, looks to be a manufacturing issue with the bottle and not just wires incorrectly fitted.
Looks like a short term fix is re-wiring, with replacement of fire bottle within a short period of time.
However as pointed out on the other thread in R/N, why was it not picked up when the system was tested after installation?
Maybe Boeing are not testing all the aircraft systems after power up during build.
Boeing's QA department must be flat out on all the issues being found on the various models, yes it is not just the B787 where quality issues are being found.
The build quality is not as good as it used to be and not a scratch on Airbus at the moment.
