Another question about crossovers and turnouts

I've got 2 remote turnouts and 2 remote crossovers. Each crossover is wired together so they switch at the same time. Both turnouts and one of the crossovers is working flawlessly via the accessory terninals of a separate power pack (a standard DC Bachmann unit). My problem is that one half of the other crossover seems balky when asked to switch- and this occurs in only one direction. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not repond at all, and sometimes it responds more slowly than it's "mate". The other half of the crossover works fine. I'd hate to have to pull up this crossover and replace it if there is any way to get the balking half to work as well as all of the others. I have already tried a different control box and examined the wiring. I have not found anything to help.
Any suggestion?

Check to see if there is a mechanical reason for the slower responds such as something jamming the movement. j2.
