Narrative:
'A' system electric hydraulic pump removed and replaced on a B737-700 aircraft; job completed working with aircraft maintenance technician (amt) 'Y'. Amt Y performed the pump replacement and cleanup of the work area after job completion. I assisted with tools; parts support and signing-off the logbook after job completion. Approximately four flight legs later; the crew reported having an 'a' system electric low pressure light and a circuit breaker (C/B) popped. Contract maintenance was called and re-secured the supply line from the reservoir to the pump and reset the C/B. Pump operated normal and aircraft continued. Possible [lack of] attention to detail. We were not under pressure or in a hurry; were given plenty of time. [Recommend] triple/quadruple check all connections.
