## Discrepancy

ON INITIAL LANDING GEAR EXTENSION THE NOSE GEAR GREEN LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE.  A VISUAL SCAN OF THE ALIGNMENT MARKS INDICATED THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN.  RECYCLED GEAR AS PER NOSE EXTENSION FAILURE PROCEDURES AND THE NOSE GEAR GREEN LIGHT ILLUMINATED NORMALLY.  INSPECTED DOWNLOCK SWITCH AND BRACKET AS PER M/M 32-21-41.  FOUND MOISTURE IN CONNECTOR.  CLEANED, REINSTALLED AND SAFETIED CONNECTOR, OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.
