Gear issue

[cjordan]

Thanks to all for the input. Turned out to be a broken wire at the left gear downlock micro switch. New switch and wires fixed the issue.

Mshac, glad to have company on your issue. After sitting for a a week or so I have heard the same clunk when flipping on the master. I’m not sure they even sag 1/4”. Very slight and not every time.

Thank you for the report back, I'm glad you got the problem solved.

Anyone had their gear horn go off when retracting the gear and the gear not move at all? Cycled gear handle 3 times and same result.. as soon as up, pump ran, horn and no movement. waited a few minutes then tried it again.. retracted normal. When I came into land I was ready to have to pump, etc… Non event, totally operated as normal.

Ideas?? G model

It sounds like the landing gear safety switch on the nose gear is out of adjustment, or is broken, because the horn sounds when the gear switch is placed in the retract position. The switch must be thinking the airplane is still on the ground.
