my up arrow on my AB doesn't work ideally anymore, you can only sometimes got it to work in one corner of the panel, but that's no usefull. So, anyone know how to fix such a problem?

open it up, see what's going on. just hope it's a cleaning problem.

I dont think it's a cleaning thing, but I gave the sheet metal(for lack of the right word that I'm looking for I think) a wipe down with a damp cloth and dry cloth anyway. Still no improvement. Could it possible be there are some slight cracks in the sheet metal tha cause it to not work/ could I replace the metal on the bottom of the panel, and could that make a difference?

are you sure all the wires are connected to the sensor?

Sounds like a bad sautering job.
Make sure the wires are all properly connected to the sensor. If not, some good electrical tape should fis the problem.

are there any pics, or threads where there are, of the sensor, and what should be connected where/how?

you can probably test it with a multimeter. find the control box/circuit board, and see if the connections work.
