IndianaCTSW Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 So I did a small search and could not find anything. Sorry if there is already a conversation covering this. I am having trouble with my flaps. Sometimes when I switch from one setting to another they don’t change right away. The numbers will just sit there and flash. If I leave them on the setting I’m trying to go to then normally if you give them a Minut or so they will eventually go but it’s not a consistent amount of time it takes from one time to the next. Sometimes when I switch them they go right away like they are supposed to. Hopefully someone has some insight. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 The current draw is too high. There is an adjustment on the flap board mounted back on the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an adjustment on the flap board mounted back on the firewall. You talking about mounted on the firewall inside the cockpit or in the engine compartment? Ill look through the maintenance diagrams tomorrow and see what I can find. Would definitely like to get it figured out. It’s just odd that it was working perfect and just randomly started acting up. Thanks for the help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 On the inside of the firewall. Speed also has a factor in the blinking. If you are to fast it will blink, until you slow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vance Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I had a similar issue a couple of years ago during flight in cold weather. Lubricating the flap actuating mechanism with Inox worked for me, and I haven’t yet had a recurrence. This is the the telescoping assembly located between the baggage areas.

Roger Lee Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 What others said. First lube the big black flap rod in the baggage compartment and also the smaller aluminum one while you're at it. After you do that run the flaps fully up and down once. Make sure your speeds as Tom mentioned are slow enough. Too much wind pressure will cause them to stall out until you slow down. Hook up the set of two switches and re-calibrate the potentiometer. What will cause the blinking is when it is getting the wrong input. Then remove the lower panel where the flap switch is and on each wire with the bullet connector TWIST and push them in tight. Usually these will cure your issues. Last (not first) if these fail mess with the voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaCTSW Posted March 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I will give that a try on my next day off. Thanks for all the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls6pilot Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 After continued flap problems i have ordered a new flap board. After replacing old board is there any programming required? Thanks in advance. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yes there is programming. You're welcome to call me. Here is a flap manual you will need. Flaps OperationManual_1.5.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
