After the game is moved it boots, but the trough does nothing and the game reports that all trough switches are open and to check 12 V power to the playfield; many switches are missing in test.
After a move: trough error and no 12 V to the playfield from a hidden loom plug
Cause: An inline connector buried inside the wire loom running to the playfield had come loose. All the board-side plugs looked fine.
Checks
- Check the fuses with a meter even if their LEDs are lit.
- Measure 12 V at the playfield end of the harness.
- Follow the playfield loom and feel inside it for inline connectors, not just the plugs at the boards.
Fix
- Reseat the loose inline connector (and secure it so it cannot pull apart again).
