Beech 95-B55 Baron
Failed Dynamic Relay
With the landing gear switch in the up position, the gear lowered via the motor on its own. Troubleshooting revealed the dynamic relay was powering the main landing gear motor for retraction or extension at the same time regardless whether the gear switch was selected up or down. There was power out from the terminal output from the dynamic relay to both up and down at the same time. The switch was confirmed normal. The malfunction was confined to the dynamic relay, which was replaced.
