## Discrepancy

NOSE GEAR RED UNSAFE INDICATOR WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WITH THROTTLES AT IDLE.  PRESS TO TEST OK, HAD TO RECYCLE GEAR TO OBTAIN NOSE GEAR GREEN SAFE LIGHT.  TESTED NOSE GEAR DOWNLOCK SWITCH.  COULD NOT DUPLICATE.  REPLACED THE NOSE GEAR DOWNLOCK SWITCH AS A PRECAUTION IAW DC9 MM 32-60-01-2-0101.  OPS CHECK GOOD ON GEAR SWING.
