Forum,

I am new here. Thanks for the admission.

I am part of a group in Northern France who owns a 1978 Piper Turbo Arrow III.

We have an issue with the 5A Gear Lights & Control fuse sometimes popping in air when retracting or lowering the gear. Once lowered (fi through manual gravitational extension), we can push the fuse back in and get three greens.

We cannot recreate the problem on the ground on jacks. The automatic gear extension has been disabled. We recently have had an Aspen installed but we are unsure if that is related to our problem, despite the addition of many new cables and boxes behind the dashboard.

Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas? Any solutions?

Thanks.
