The crew reported that the 3 red "in transit" lights remained illuminated when the gear was selected down for landing. The down and locked green indicators were also illuminated at the same time. The gear was cycled several times after which normal gear down indications were obtained. Post flight examination found a faulty micro switch in the landing gear selector handle.
