## Discrepancy

AFTER T/O NR 6 LED FAILED TO RETRACT.  COMPLIED WITH QRH AND RETURNED TO MEM.  REPEAT WRITEUP, NO DIRECTIONAL PROBLEMS.  DURING CREW DEBRIEF, INDICATION WAS FOR NR 6 LEADING EDGE SLAT, NOT KRUEGER FLAP.  AFTER TRANSLOAD, CYCLED FLAPS SEVERALTIMES AND FINALLY DUPLICATED PROBLEM WITH NR 6 SLAT AMBER {INTRANSIT} LIGHT ON BOTH FWD AND AFT PANELS.  LEFT FLAPS   EXTENDED FOR MORE T/S REF 727 MM 27-82-001-4.  DURING T/S OPERATED L/E FLAPS AND SLATS APPROX 30 CYCLES.  THE NR 6 FLAP IS THE ONLY LED THAT FAILED INDICATION, ABOUT 8 TIMES OUT OF TEN IT FAILED.  AT NO TIME DID THE NR 6 SLAT FAIL INDICATION.  INSTALLED FLAP POSITION SWITCH PER BOEING MM 27-82-0001-4.  SYSTEM OPS CK OK.
