Narrative:
During preflight; section 6 circuit breaker was popped. Maintenance was advised and pushed circuit breaker in and said operations checked normal and signed off the book. During climb out when center tank fuel depleted; section 6 circuit breaker popped again and listed indicator lights above were inoperative. Contacted maintenance control. Maintenance control advised of lights inoperative and master caution working correctly and proceeded to destination. Duty flight officer concurred with continuing flight. Maintenance needs to troubleshoot circuit breaker instead of just pushing them back in and saying operations checked normal.
