Re: Torsion Level System And Other Electrical Misteries

I would start by having the mechanic start checking and putting the TL wiring back to as close to normal as possible. With the manual switches added the way they are, and a green wire from the on/off switch disconnected (which feeds the auto level switch) it is hard to say what is happening.

Here is a complete schematic of the schematics for both years. The lower one (56) has the factory manual up/down switch shown.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/wirediagrams/55-56%20TL%20Schem.pdf

I would hope that whomever added the manual switches made sure they went through the limit switches, otherwise mechanical damage could happen. If they do, then it is possible a limit switch has failed or perhaps the up switch itself has failed.
