First time that happened to me, I thought it was the ITP and changed it out. It worked after that, but a coworker told me later that it was probably the bin switch, and that we'd probably end up going back. I'm not sure if we ever did or not.

[@IceMachine411]

I’ve done the same exact thing! We both know better now.

Need to add that switch to shelf stock, have 5 or more Manitowoc 1st gen Indigos + some Koolaires. Need to confirm part #s

[@IceMachine411]

Definitely. Truck stock saves soooo much time. I know you know this.
