What was found

(CAN) NEW VALVE WAS INSTALLED. LANDING GEAR VALVE FAILS TO INDICATE THAT IT IS OPEN WHEN SELECTED. VALVE WORKS CORRECTLY, BUT FAILS TO INDICATE TO CREW THAT IT IS WORKING. SEEMS TO BE JUST AN ISSUE WITH THE INDICATION SIDE OF THE VALVE AND NOT THE ACTUAL MECHANICS. (TC NR 20061216002)
