Had the breaker pop and the amber light not come on when retracting gear. Aircraft is now on jacks with the front seats and floor panels out. trouble shooting now.
Parts manual does not have a part number for the up limit switch, and I can't find one on line. Lots of references to the down limit switches but not the up limit switch.
Ill post progress and pics in a few.

The Comanche that I refurbished and maintain had similar issues with the CB tripping only during retraction. All the switches on the gears and safety switch needed to be replaced and the owner went to Comanche Gear and got a new complete harness with new switches that is protected with a Teflon sleeve. After I replaced the harness I went through the system and had to re-rig the entire system after finding it not rigged properly.
Try this link. This is for the switch if you want to replace it. It’s the cheapest online that I’ve found.
