Pete Somers is an unknown quantity at this point
1. When the gear is up is the orange light ON.
2. When you put the lever in the center position is the orange light ON.
3.Does this happen on gear extension.

The gear handle should return to it's center position upon gear retraction the doors operate as a result of the gear being up and locked. So the gear is resting on the uplocks when the handle is center.
If you push one of the legs up and the doors open you must have a problem with the rigging of that switch, (the orange light will go out).
The door solenoid will not operate until you have either a orange or a green light on as this shows the gear is where it should be.

So you need to check the HYD pressure when the gear is in travel and when it is in the uplocks as you should have a pressure rise to put the gear handle to center. (what is your mechanic using to cycle the gear)

Check the handle micro swiitch and make sure that is ok.
Then check the uplock switches to see if they are ok, they should not have changed as I presume only the power pack was replaced.

Regards
Pete
