UNAUTH TKOF WITH ACFT EQUIP PROB.

Narrative

LANDED AT ELH (MYEH) AND HAD A SHORT TAXI TO TERMINAL. I HAD PERFORMED AFTER LNDG CHKLIST. I DID NOT SEE THAT THE FLAPS WERE DOWN WHEN I DISEMBARKED AS THEY ARE A SPLIT FLAP AND NOT VISIBLE UNTIL YOU MOVE AWAY FROM THE ACFT. I HAD 1 PAX TO PICK UP AND HE WAS READY TO GO. AS WE WALKED TOWARD THE ACFT I SAW THE FLAPS. I FIGURED I HAD MISSED RETRACTING THEM IN SPITE OF THE CHKLIST AS THE TAXI FROM THE RWY IS ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED FT. I BOARDED THE PAX. I STARTED UP THE ENGS AND RETRACTED THE FLAPS. THE INDICATOR REMAINED IN THE DOWN POS. I CHKED AND RESET THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. NO CHANGE. I SHUT DOWN AND TOLD THE PAX I HAD STUCK FLAPS AND NEEDED TO FIX THEM. ONE OF THE LCL RAMP MEN CAME OVER AND SAID HE RECOGNIZED THE SIT AS AN ELECTRICAL PROB. I AGREED. HE REACHED UNDER THE SELECTOR AND FOUND A BROKEN WIRE. HE THEN HELD THE WIRES IN PLACE WHILE I TURNED THE PWR ON AND RETRACTED THE FLAPS. THEY CAME UP AND I PULLED THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. UNFORTUNATELY; ALL OF THIS WAS PERFORMED IN FRONT OF THE PAX AS THE CABIN IS NOT SEPARATE FROM THE COCKPIT. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THE FUNCTION AND OP OF THE FLAPS. I EXPLAINED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE NEEDED ON ARR IN FLL; DUE TO LONG RWYS. HE ASKED IF I WAS GOING TO MAINTAIN RADIO COM. I SAID YES; AND HE SEEMED SATISFIED. FLT TO FLL WAS UNEVENTFUL AND I IMMEDIATELY WROTE UP AND RPTED THE DISCREPANCY TO MAINT ON ARR.
