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?
