This sounds to me like it is just a/an connector issue. You should be able to have him wiggle the connectors to find witch one it is. This is something he should be able to do himself.
Have him notice what wires move when he turns over the panel, then he can wiggle the wires to find the fault or pinched wire.
 
On my gauntlet any time I open the control panel at least one connector seems to pull off of a microswitch. The wires do not have much slack in them and with so many it is easy for them to get caught up on something and pull off.

I concur... I'm in San Diego and would be happy to look at it if it is still an issue. Stuff like this is almost always a wire or wire harness with too little slack that pulls at one end. Sometimes it is a broken wire that still has the insulation intact, making an intermittent connection that works when the slack is relieved. Sometimes the symptoms are reversed depending on the direction of the tension being applied.

Let me know if your customer still needs help.
