## Discrepancy

(CAN) AIRCRAFT RETURNED WITH GEAR IN-TRANSIT LIGHT.  AFTER NUMEROUS GEAR SWINGS IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRE WAS LOOSE WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENTION MICRO-SWITCH.THIS SWITCH CUTS POWER SO THAT WHEN THE EMERGENCY SYSTEM IS USED THERE IS NO POWER.  THE INTERMITTANT POWER CAUSED THE GEAR NOT TO FULLY RETRACT AND CAUSE THE IN-TRANSIT LIGHT TO STAY ON.  WIRE WAS SECURED.
