“Yes the brake picks like it has a demand”. That’s your clue.
Will the directional stop it on hall access?
And as Johnny asked, what happens if you send it to 5 first?
What might happen if the up stop limit is opened while on Independant, with the car at the bottom with an up direction in? Does LU stay up for some reason at the top only?
If you can prove your trouble at the top only, relay contacts or related hardware (selector contacts/switches) are suspect.
