Narrative:

The event happened just before departure; passenger boarded. Flight crew called maintenance for a popped circuit breaker for the l-hand mode select. I then proceeded to aircraft; attempted circuit breaker reset -- no help. I then contacted maintenance control for assistance and to inform them of the situation. Maintenance control found part number which I used to see if the part was available here -- it wasn't. Maintenance control then contacted aircraft on ground desk to start a part out of ZZZ1 stores. The manager on duty was then called to take aircraft OTS awaiting parts. Also; while talking to the maintenance operations; we asked him to see if the aircraft on ground desk could check locally for parts here at ZZZ. It was probably about 15 mins that passed and we received a call from maintenance control that airline had an autoplt mode select panel and our stores person proceeded to get the part. After we received the panel; I installed and performed an mcdp land 40 test. I realized this was an autoland qualification item; so I pulled my training records to make sure my autoland qualifications were current. They were; and I proceeded to sign the logbook. Suggested resolution: I plan on reviewing my autoland qualifications training course and borrowed part training course. Contributing factors: improper documentation. Did not follow procedure for borrowed part. I did check to see my autoland qualifications were current.
