Narrative:
I changed the sensor per fault code #27-xxxxx; F prox sensor; fim 27-xx-xx-XXX-XXX. No help noted; operation/ck failed; made logbook entry and turned the job over. It was due to amm picture and not enough lighting; hard location; limited material and during the work; they moved the airplane one place to another place. I will be very careful to follow the amm right and right (remove and replace); will take picture before removal. Also will check if the parts can be installed backwards.
