## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING LANDING, NOSE WHEEL DOWN LOCK LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY.  AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY.  TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED A BULKHEAD ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FROM WHEEL BAY TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS DISCONNECTED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PLACE.  THE PLASTIC TAB LOCK RING COULD NOT BE SECURED WITH THE PLUG FULLY INSERTED IN THE RECEPTACLE.
