Flap issue
I repaired the side flaps and roof was functioning but the center flap in between the two side flaps don’t function. It’s powered by an electric motor so I’m assuming the fuse blew? Any idea wheee that fuse is or if there are any other thoughts?

If you have an R230, that flap is actuated by a cable attached to the left roof hinge. Usually one end attachment gets broken off. There is a gas spring on the shelf that assists the flap folding back flat. When this fails, the flap can get caught and break the cable. Replace the cable AND the spring.
