Gear Doors will not close

[jchronic]

And to riff a little on the point Ernie makes, I make it an operating practice to always slow when able to 110-120 mph before throwing flaps or gear out. I rarely see any reason to extend them at higher speeds...and these airframes and gear doors and associated mechanisms ain't getting any younger.

Thanks to all that had suggestions. We replaced the micro switch located under the panel right above the pilot's left knee. This switch controls the gear doors opening and closing. After replacing the switch the doors were still not working properly. Finally my mechanic bent the small metal arm that activates the push button on the switch. We are now getting good depression of the switch button and everything works great.

Thanks again to all that had ideas.

Yours for Christ,
Cliff
