Landing Gear Again!!

[barmar]

Landing gear had been working ok but just this morning it quit!! Checked in-linr fuse on meter and it's good---switch/system appears dead. Is there another fuse and/or a CB in the system somewhere? Hope the motor hasn't burned out--will try to check by by-passing the switch. Any other ideas please?

I dont know what you have checked, but this is some feedback from me, what about the rocker switch for the legs could that be the problem?

I think you are on the right track. When my switch failed I found it was rated at only 20 Amp and the circuit was fused at 30 Amps. I recommend checking the switch next.

Thanks guys---checked the motor and it's ok so it certainly looks like a switch problem. Circuit is fused at 40 amp and I suspect the switch is OE at 20 amp. Where did you get a replacement 6-pole switch at the higher rating?

Rondo picked up a 40AMP switch at a Salvage yard in Michigan just above Goshen. He will have to post where if he remembers.
I just drafted this fix if your are so inclined.
