Problem started a month ago. When I retract the gear or lower the gear the GNS430 restarts. A&P Tightened all the circuit breakers, tested the volts (all normal) and I test flew it with no issue. The. GNS hasn’t reset in the past 3 flights since but the transponder flickers for a quick second when the gear is moved. Avionics shop on the field checked under the cowl for me and in the back where the battery wires connect and tightened those too. Battery is new, voltage regulator new both installed this past year. No other things on panel are affected. I’m thinking it has to do with the gear retract switch. No issues at all during flight. Only when the gear lever is moved do I experience the issues. Appreciate any insight on what to look at next. Included a pic of the panel for reference of setup.
