The aircraft was configured for a ferry flight to Washington dulles (iad) for further troubleshooting. The mechanics at iad could not duplicate the failure, however, removed and replaced the fecu and again operationally checked the system for two hours without any indicated problems. A visual inspection of the left/right wing flap actuators and flex drive shafts for indications of moisture, damage, excessive grease with no problems being noted. The aircraft was returned to service. There were no injuries to the crew or passengers. The flight crew's actions or lack of actions did not contribute to this incident. This closed the investigation of this occurrence and no further action is required from this office.
