At least I got no yellow "running" lamp. It had run on retraction less than 15 minutes previously. The alternate extension got the mains down, but not the nose (at least not locked). I tried cycling the switch several times to no avail. The weather was coming back in, so I didn't have a lot of time to play around. This evening I dropped by the hangar, flipped the battery switch on and the hydraulic pump ran constantly, as if the alternate extension bypass were open. It wasn't. It will be several weeks before I get quality time on the airplane, since I have some traveling to do. I'll let the list know what I find. Naf
