The Solid State Relay board switches the backbox lamp
Some 6803 games light the backbox with one incandescent bulb that is switched on and off for effects by a little Solid State Relay board mounted in the backbox (Dungeons & Dragons uses A084-91880-A000). If the backbox light never comes on, check that board along with the bulb.
