Gear handle problem

[Jhogan0101]

Tried to raise my gear yesterday and the handle didnt want to physically move upwards.
I was able to push the handle down and then it automatically popped back up to down position.i also notice the gear lights are not working now.
Any ideas (337B 3000hrs TT)

There is a solenoid behind the lower panel adjacent to the gear handle which prevents the handle from being raised when the aircraft is on the ground. That solenoid is energized by a squat switch on the nose gear. So you either have a bad solenoid, or bad squat switch, or an open circuit in the wiring.

Thanks Burt, turns out was a loose wire.
The solenoid and both lights are on the same circuit.
