## Discrepancy

LT AND RT GEAR IN TRANSIT LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER GEAR EXTENSION.  THE FREEFALL CONTROL LEVER WAS BUMPED OUT OF ITS NORMAL (UP) POSITION AND WHEN THE GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN AND IT COMPLETED ITS CYCLE THE MAIN LANDING GEAR INBOARD DOOR FREEFALL CABLE WOULD NOT ALLOW THE IB MLG DOOR UPLOCK SWITCH TO SEND A CLOSE SIGNAL, BECAUSE IT WAS ADJUSTED TO TIGHT.  PROPER ADJUSTMENT OF CABLE IAW MM 32-33-02.  (EA09200403107)
