What was found

KLRD/KDAY - FLT 529 - THE MLG DOOR NOT LATCHED LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER GEAR RETRACTION. THE FLIGHT CREW CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR AND THE LIGHT EXTINGUISHED NORMALLY. MAINTENANCE CLEANED AND LUBED THE UPLATCH OVER-CENTER MECHANISM. AN OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE LANDING GEAR WARNING SYSTEM WAS GOOD.
