Torsion level was a novel idea, but seems rather finicky to keep working?? Though I guess 60 years doesn't help either.

I would guess 95 percent of problems are electrical with dirty connections or oxidized control switch contacts and failed brake switches being he most common and even those do not happen all that often. Age definitely is an issue along with road debris damage and water which can affect the 55 electrical items which are mounted under the car. 56 models moved or waterproofed the most vulnerable components.

I am surprised at how many people seem to have problems figuring out and understanding the electrical part of the operation. Some interesting and creative workarounds to bypass or "improve" a misunderstood or failed switch have been found. Add to that a few haphazard methods of adding manual control switches by having them completely bypass the limit switches adds another toll -- only that one leads to damaged parts and mechanical failure.
