Could it be something in = how you have your indicator (e.g. pump running) lights wired?

The pump works fine. =20 I have added a pressure switch to keep the gear down and the airspeed is = below about 85 mph ... or to put the gear down when the airspeed drops = below 85k. The pump is off when the Master is off. Is there something in the pump circuit that allows it to bleed? (For now I'm adding to the Check List for Shutdown: Hyd. Gear CB -- = out.)
