(-5) On Saturday, March 6, 1999, at 2110 local, during approach to Buffalo niagara international airport, a delta 737-232, flight 2346, at 210 KIAS, lowered flaps to 5 degrees and the crew noticed that the #1 l.e. flap amber light, the in-transit light, remained "on". The light remained "on" while the flaps were extended to 15 degrees for approach per pom. The flight landed without incident and proceeded to the gate where contract maintenance was summoned. The vendor, prior aviation service, checked the proximity targets, wiring, reracked the flap/slat indication module, and the light came on again. Delta maintenance control dispatched a new flap indication module and a delta mechanic from cle to successfully remedy the problem. See log page 688544. This incident is considered closed.
