Naw, it's wired CORRECTLY.  Maybe it is more of a matter of human interaction (reaction) on the flap rocker switch when trying to get an exact, to the degree, adjustment.  Trying to get the digital flap indicator, which reads in whole numbers to move only 1 degree is a trial and error exercise.  One degree is 0.1625", which equates to slightly less than 21/128", or for those non-exacting types, a scosh more than 1/8".
 
Give it a go.  Try moving your flaps only an 1/8" with your flap switch.  Probably can't do it the first time.  Heck, there's more slop in the system than that.  And in flight, there is about 2 degrees less from physical air pressure on the flaps at full down (20 in flight, 22 in the hanger) as well as similarly less at full reflex (9 in flight, 11 in the hanger).
 
But thanks for your concern.
 Had a coaster at a flyin about 5 years ago raised flapes from full down at park and they just coasted all the way to reflex and would not go down. Looked like maybe some corrosion/ oxidation on terminals. Replaced relays and and covered terminals with dialectric grease and installed protective cap from mouser no problem 6+ years.

Gary,

If your flap motor coasts to a stop, it is wired INCORRECTLY.
Take a close look at your wiring diagram.
Your flaps should stop abruptly when power is removed.
