## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF OF FLIGHT 3075, LANDING GEAR UNSAFE INDICATOR WOULD NOT EXTINGUISH AFTER A NORMAL TIME PERIOD AFTER T/O.  LIGHT REMAINED ON WITH HYDRAULIC PUMP RUNNING CONSTANTLY UNTIL GEAR WAS SELECTED BACK DOWN.  GEAR GOT 3 GREEN DOWN AND NORMAL LANDING ACCOMPLISHED.  AIR RETURN TO DTW.  MAINTENANCE CLEANED ICE AND SLUSH BUILD UP OFF ALL THREE GEAR LEGS.  ALL CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME.
