Also check the connections going into the hydraulic pump. They tend to get loose.

And uplock microswitches
It's been a few years, but as I recall,
the system is designed to prevent doors from closing until all the microswitches confirm the gear is fully locked either up or down. I vaguely recall an issue like that many years ago: The micro switches that detect full uplock position were not fully closing, so it would prevent the gear doors from closing. Q-Does your uplock light come on? I THINK that requires all uplock switches closed. Open the doors on ground w hand pump. "Circuit open (power off), doors open" "Circuit closed (power on), door close" Look for the uplock microswitch for each leg. Press each w finger for affirmative tiny click. Spray (FAA certified and approved) brakeleen, or equivalent into and around switch. That will clear (FAA certified and approved) dirt / snot. Until you feel a nice clean little click when you press. The airframe uses common industrial (aka 'digikey) microswitch switches. They are easy to find replacements if needed.
