## Discrepancy

(CAN) RIGHT SIDE MAIN GEAR DOORS DID NOT CLOSE AFTER GEAR RETRACTION.  CREW COMPLETED ALTERNATE EXTENSION.  ACFT RETURNED TO FIELD WITHOUT INCIDENT.  AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, SHORTENED WIRE BEHIND THE BACKSHELL OF CONNECTOR 3261-P54, TO RT SOLENOID SEQUENCE VALVE, FORCING THE SSV TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY.   THE WIRE IS REPAIRED AND A FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF PRIMARY EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM WAS CARRIED OUT SUCCESSFULLY.
