I have an intermittent functioning of the flap drive motor.



In the past this has been related to lubricant on the end bearing 

contaminating the commutator. Cleaning of the commutator has effected a 

cure.



Not this time it seems. Although a bit of a jarring tends to fix it.



I suspect the short as-supplied connecting wires emanating from the motor. 

But intermittent electrical faults are the most difficult to find.



Anyone else had this?

Duncan, have you renewed the brushes?.......Just a suggestion with

nothing else to contribute, My flap LED indicator has decided to play up

..on switch on it lights up and travels to the top position

irrespective of where the flaps are have you any suggestions?  I've

messaged Ray Allen Factoy about it.

Regards

What you describe is exactly what the LED indicator does if it has power

(positive and negative) but the three sense wires from the motor are not

connected.



I hope this helps

Hi! Ian

You may well be right with the trim motor, and it may read across

similarly to the Flap Position Indicator but the latter in my case is

the Position Sender which is linked to the flap hinge by a mechanical

link. I believe I had at some time past such a sequence with the trim

motor because the position sensor wires do go to the motor. I will

investigate continuity of the relevant connections.

Regards & Thanks

Bob Harrison.

Ian,



I didn't know that there was an LED display for the flap motor, I just look 

out the window to check the flap position. Do you mean the trim motor by any 

chance ?

Karl.

I have the same indicator for the flap position as the trim indicator

but it is sensed by a potentiometer strategically positioned on one of

the flap drive hinges.

This is an add on item not a Europa Kit item.

Just had a message from the Ray Allen Company who make the guismos

confirming what Ian has said so I have to go hunting for breaks in the

wires! .....

A point worth making here is that it was only 09.17 Saturday 8th when I

e-mailed Scott Menzimer of Ray Allen Company asking for help and by

today Sunday 9th at 21.49  he had replied. Well worth patronising people

who can help in such spontaneous ways .. there must be about 10 hours

time lag between us anyway.



REGARDS
