Sorry posted complete nonsense before. I felt sure it was something to do with APU, but APU feeds from dedicated DC or with AC left forward. Will think more before posting next time.

gatbusdriver, understood! I refuse to let this one be a simple answer...been thinking about it for days!
Herr Bus, nothing else odd noticed but we where on the push and busy so possibly...aircraft was then fine down route (both press lights on).

The only thing that springs to mind is that something could possibly be wrong with the auto load shedding system, as both CTR pumps are meant to be inhibited with N3 and/or N2 <50%, i.e. when the engines are shut down...just my 2 pence worth, no expert though...

The fueling panel door switch is a magnetically operated reed switch. Its common to see these misbehaving.
Its easy to see if the switch has failed in the door open mode, as the fueling panel door lights remain illuminated as you close and latch the door.
A good hard **** with a solid object is usually enough to get it working correctly. Failing that, it will need to be replaced.
