I'm honestly not sure what the difference is, except that the ON-ON-ON switches that I saw with a quick google search cost a heck of a lot more. I don't know enough about electronics, and I have my day job to get back to. I'm happy to pay my mechanic to figure out the specifics in this case.

That switch is ON-OFF-ON, and the one I have is ON-ON-ON. Now that I know the issue is just the switch, I'm going to hand the rest off to my shop. Thanks to everyone for helping me narrow down what the issue was!

Spent quite some time in the hangar tonight. There are no limit switches. The toggle switch in the cockpit is the culprit. @AndreiC - If you could share that switch's part number with me, that would be very helpful.

Thanks Rich! Everything I had seen showed the switches right on the actuator. I'll make a trip to the hangar tonight and look around a bit more! MikeOH: Mine is a 1969 M20C Serial 690049. I'll have to shop around for a maintenance manual.

I'm having what sounded like a common issue with older Mooneys... the flaps will go down, but will not come back up. I read the posts about cleaning and replacing the limit switches, and was prepared to do so. When I removed the inspection panel and got a look at the flap motor, I found that there are no limit switches - at least not visible ones. I was able to manually rotate the flap motor to get the flaps back up so I can fly it to a mechanic, but I'd like to have some idea what's going on before I take it in. I'll attach some pictures of my flap set up. Has anyone encountered this before or have any advice?
