I had this exact same problem with my STTNG. It was driving me crazy. Turns out the white/green wire that comes from the 16 option board also attaches to another target. It had broken loose and was rubbing against it with every vibration of the table. The switch would show closed (correct) during switch test add table in down position. Once I soldered it back on, it worked fine. What a crazy issue!
