Torsion level question

My 56 Exec's TL system has never worked properly since I have owned her. Upon purchase I received pics of the car being loaded onto the transport and the TL system was working then. I have since found out that I have an unconventional 2wo-switch manual override setup. I can use these switches only after turning the on-off switch to off (otherwise the fuse blows). The automatic TL function is not working because I can load-up the back seat and the rear end drops and doesn't recover. This is with the on-off switch on. The front end seems to be 'stuck' in it's lowest position (riding on the rubber suspension 'bumpers'). No matter which manual switch I use, the rear end either raises or lowers and the front end doesn't move.

What can cause this knid of problem? I have noticed that there are some wire splices around the compensator and motor. I have ordered a new TL manual override switch kit from Max Merritt and will put the system back to it's original state and then install the correct switch.

Thanks for your thots,

Bob
