Try a switch test and see if any switches like the trough are not registering, or you have some that are closed but shouldn't be
 
The metal ramp is known to crack on them (and/or the linkage, I forget), which causes issues. I remember reading about it when I was researching mine, though I didn't have the issue myself. But if it cracks, it gets misaligned, and won't behave properly. Try googling around for more info on it.

Also, if the sensor is bad or dirty, that'll do it too. It's a pain to get to, but you might need to remove and inspect the ramp.
