None of the flashers light, in a game or in test mode, although the fuses read good. In solenoid test the coils don't fire either, yet they all work in a game.

No flashers in game or test, and coils won't fire in test: bulbs and coin door interlock

Cause: The backbox flashers were wedge bulbs (LED replacements here) that were not seated properly in their sockets or had failed. Coils not firing in test is normal with the coin door open: the door's interlock switch cuts the high voltage to the coils.

Checks

  • Pull and reseat each backbox flasher bulb, and try a known-good bulb in a socket that stays dark.
  • Check for damaged socket wiring where a working bulb still won't light.
  • For coil tests, press in (or pull out to latch) the coin door interlock switch.

Fix

  • Reseat or replace the flasher bulbs and repair any bad sockets.
