THE AIRCRAFT HAD A HISTORY OF THE GPWS GIVING A TOO LOW GEAR WARNING AT LOW ALTITUDES DURING LANDING, WHICH RESULTED IN TWO INSTANCES OF A GO-AROUND.  THE WARNING WAS ACCOMPANIED BY DIM LOWER HALF OF GREEN DOWN AND LOCKED LIGHTS.  TROUBLESHOOTING BY MAINTENANCE FOUND A LOOSE TERMINAL AT X-1 ON R2-1 LANDING GEAR LEVER RELAY AND THE RELAY WAS CRACKED.  THE RELAY WAS REPLACED.  THE TERMINAL ON RT MLG LOWER GREEN LIGHT WAS ALSO TIGHTENED.  ALL OPERATION CHECKED NORMAL.
