## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED, "WHEN LANDING GEAR HANDLE PULLED- DOWN, BURNING ODOR OCCURRED, PLEASE CHECK ELECTRICAL WIRE."  DURING TROUBLESHOOTING, FOUND POWER WIRE CONNECTION TO THIRD ROW BUS-BAR LOOSE.  TIGHTENED CONNECTION, AND PERFORMED OPS CHECKS OF ALL EQUIPMENT ON THAT BUS-BAR.  INCLUDING LANDING GEAR SYS, TO ENSURE INDICATIONS OPERATED PROPERLY.  VISUAL INSPECTION OF WIRES IN THE AREA SHOWED NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE FROM HEAT.
