Narrative:
I worked at station on aircraft tail number talked to captain applied MEL. I thought I was deferring the 'bleed fault' indication system. Pilot called in; said wrong MEL was on aircraft. Aircraft was ran and MEL cleared. I should have done more research more into problem before applying MEL.
