## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM SJC TO TOL, AFTER THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED THE GEAR DOOR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED.  THE FLIGHT CREW CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR BUT THE WARNING INDICATION REMAINED THE SAME.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO TOL FOLLOWING COMPANY PROCEDURES.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT WHICH REVEALED A DAMAGED GEAR DOOR SWITCH STRIKER ON THE LEFT MAIN GEAR DOOR.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE STRIKER AND PERFORMED A SUCCESFUL OPERATIONAL CHECK.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
