Old timer on a job in Cleveland told me my brake adjustment was off by a hair and it saved me a headache

I had this one controller that kept throwing a fault code every few weeks. Drove me nuts. Replaced boards, checked wiring, the works. An old mechanic I was working with on a modernization job watched me for a minute and said "back off that adjuster an eighth of a turn." I thought he was full of it. Did it anyway and the fault hasn't come back in 6 months. Turns out I was riding the brake just barely and it was overheating the resistor bank. Has anyone else had a fix that was that simple after you tried everything else?

Six months isn't long enough to call that a real fix.

Five years is the real test for most fixes I've seen.
