Re: '55 Torsion Level System Trouble Shooting

Well success was short lived. I drove the car to several stores the other day and on the way there, everything worked nice. The TL motor would kick in and level the car out. After the last store on the way home the rear went low and the front end high.

I jacked the car up and did the test with the system shutoff under the dash. Once again the "pink' wire terminal to ground would not kick the motor on. I pulled the TL Controller and noticed that the rivets had been replaced the unit was rebuilt with relays and solid state stuff. While inside, I lightly filed the contact points on the switch.

Next thing I want to do is to remove the limit switch and open it up and clean the contact points in it. I hope to do it on New Years Day. What better way to start 2019 off underneath a Great Classic Packard.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you Packardites.
