Grayhawk,

I particularly enjoyed to trouble shooting discussion.  I've gone down
that exact road before.  The lesson to remember is that while wanting
ones gear to come up, the intermittant duty relay is being used almost
continuously (and fries).  I suspect that a loss of fluid in flight
would end up with the same failure (in my plane anyway).  This is
because the circuit breaker (connected directly to the battery) would be
pulled stopping the pump from running.  However, the relays would still
be powered by my main power bus (I guess I could go to the essential
bus).
