Narrative:
I wrote up 18 open write ups on [a] falcon 2000.among the open write ups were 4 partially inoperative indicator lights on the overhead cockpit panel. They were the 'ext power' pushbutton; 'logo' nav light; and the 'on' indicator lights on the fasten seat belt and no smoking lights. I do not know what the corrective actions that were performed at the time. Also there were 3 screws leaking fuel under the left wing. Again I do not know what the corrective actions on the leaking screws.on [a later date] it became apparent that none of these above items were actually fixed on or about [in the previous inspection]. These same exact lights were out and the same exact screws were still leaking. From what I noticed on the company mobile manager; the screws were sealed and the overhead cockpit panel was replaced. There is speculation that the replacement overhead panel costs [thousands of] dollars. This may be the reason the panel was not originally replaced. Remove the maintenance (mx) vendor from working on [this aircraft] aircraft. This is not the first report I have made in which written up mx discrepancies were not fixed but obviously signed off as airworthy.
