Hey folks,

returned from a flight the other day and got this:

landing light switch is off, the light stayed deployed and on. As soon as the masterswitch is on, the light will come on (even if the switch is in the off position), the light will not retract. The only way to turn off the landing light is to flip the breaker.

anyone seen this? thoughts?

Landing light up micro switch is either improperly adjusted or broken. Pull the light but leave it plugged in and check travel. Adjust or replace as necessary

I too have that exact problem.

Bill C, with the light extended can we get to the micro switch?

No, but if you pull the screws out and let it hang (gently) by the harness, the inspection covers on the sides are easily removed and you can watch what happens as you cycle the switch. Pretty easy to adjust.

Update:

for both aircraft, it turns out the "ground" wire pulled itself loose from the cannon plug. Both are functioning now quite nicely.

Thanks for the hints.
