Related to Matt's gear problem on his LNC2, I recently had a problem 
with the left main gear extending.  The indicator light would not come 
on while the other 2 were illuminated as usual.  The emergency extension 
seemed to work.  While taxiing the gear light went out.  On jacks, I 
removed the terminals from the microswitch, re-attached them, and the 
light came on and stayed on.  Seems to be a little corrosion at the 
terminal interfaces.  There were no other problems noted with the 
linkages or hydraulic functioning.  These microswitches are all exposed 
and not waterproof and this kind of false indication is not what one 
needs.  Has anyone else experienced this and have recommendations to 
prevent?
