Is it mounted horizontally or vertically, because we tend to notice an increase in reliability of our electronics when they're mounted on a vertical plane. Seems to be that less dust, dirt, metal shavings, and other assorted fouling settles on/inside them.

However, 2 sidecars failing in one regional seems to be excessive if that's the cause unless it's mounted right next to or directly under a moving part, or you did a lot of drilling and filing without a vacuum nearby.
