Help...Gear Won't Come Up

Apparenty mine is wired differently. the current shunt is in series with the battery and goes the the Master solenoid. the other shunts (2) are in series with the alternators. The master solenoid coil goes to a fuse on the firewall then thru a switch to the battery.

There are small parrellel cables connecting the 3 solenoids (no copper straps). I know for a fact the starter current DOES NOT go thru the master solenoid. The coils are energized thru the master.

I was planning on putting a lamp on each starter solenoid so that it would be lit when the solenoid was energized in the event the starter solenoid stuck closed which could cause either a fire or a burned out starter. I remember distinctly that there was no real way of disconnecting the starter solenoid in the event the contactor "welded" together.

In fact this has happened on occasion with other owners.

either the P is different or my aircraft is different.
