A misWIRED harness would have shown up immediately, but an intermittent problem would usually not show up right away.
It IS quite interesting that two planes may have had similar problems after just a few months of operation. Certainly a mystery, and Boeing and several CAA's are REALLY wanting to know what the heck happened!

I'd love to know more about exactly how these sensors work, and how the signals get into digital form in the computers.
It is looking like they MIGHT just be bare resolvers in the sensor.
