## Discrepancy

(CAN) IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE RH OUTER BUNGEE CABLE LINK P/N 1107968 BROKE CAUSING THE ATTACHED BUNGEE SPRING P/N 1107969 TO REBOUND AND STRIKE THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT SWITCH BRACKET CAUSING MISALIGNMENT SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATOR LIGHT TO FAIL. HOWEVER, THE GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.
