## Discrepancy

LEFT LANDING GEAR LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY.     INSPECTED THE LANDING GEAR SYS AND FOUND THE LT DOWNLOCK SWITCH HAD A WIRE BROKEN TO IT.  REPAIRED THE BROKEN WIRE TO SWITCH.  PERFORMED AN OPS CHECK OF GEAR LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF.  LIGHT IS STEADY.  NO FLASHING.  OPS CHECK GOOD.  ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
