Compliance: Required within the next 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished per AD 90-03-19.

To prevent an inadvertent deenergized battery bus relay, which could result in unrecoverable loss of the airplane's electrical power, accomplish the following:

(a) Modify the electrical system using the following procedures, or the procedures contained in Fairchild Service Bulletins SA226-24-032 and SA227-24-013, both dated August 7, 1989, as applicable:

(1) Remove the access cover of the "J-Box", EP11.

(2) Locate Battery Bus Relay K40 and remove diode from across X1 and X2 terminals.

(3) Reinstall access cover.

(4) Using the Battery Switches, verify that battery voltage is present on the LH Essential, RH Essential, and Nonessential busses.

NOTE 1: Fairchild Service Bulletins SA226-24-032 and SA227-24-013 both dated August 7, 1989, pertain to the subject of this AD.

(b) Airplanes may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 to a location where this AD may be accomplished.

(c) An alternate method or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an equivalent level of safety, may be approved by the Manager, Airplane Certification Office, Federal Aviation Administration, Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0150.

NOTE 2: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Airplane Certification Office, Fort Worth, Texas.
