THE A LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE.  CREW USED EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL OVERRIDE AND EXTENDED THE GEAR.  CREW HEARD THE GEAR EXTEND AND RECEIVED THREE GREEN B INDICATOR LIGHTS.  CREW ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE A INDICATOR, BUT IT FAILED TO RESET.  CREW DECLARED AND EMERGENCY AND LANDED SAFELY.  MAINTENANCE FOUND A SHORT IN THE WIRE FROM CIRCUIT BREAKER A INDICATION TO HANDLE AND RELAY BOX.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED ENTIRE WIRE.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
