Doubtful it is solenoids because when they fail, it usually isn't intermittent. Usually they don't work at all or once shorted, a bad one typically keeps the motor energized until it rotates all the way around and binds the transverse link so the fuse goes. Randy did have one fail but IIRC, the symptom was the car was sitting, did a minor correction but just kept going. I suppose it is possible that rust or corrosion might be inside and causing strange things to happen.

Also doubt limit switches since it does stop at either extreme. A bad one typically wouldn't stop the motor at the limit or wouldn't let it move at all. The control switch is sensing because finding the car in a wrong position, it does reverse to correct.

Have you examined the wiring carefully for any areas which might have worn insulation and is intermittently grounding.

Can you stop it in mid see-saw cycle by turning off the dash switch or pressing brake? Is the new control switch the original style or a new solid state replacement?
