A C-side coil or flash lamp does nothing in the solenoid test.

C-bank coil or flasher not working

Cause: Open bulb or coil, bad wiring, a bad shared driver, or the bank relay not switching.

Checks

  • Ground the tab of the bank select relay driver (sol 12, or sol 14 on early games) and leave it grounded to hold power on bank C.
  • Briefly ground the lamp socket or coil terminal, then the tab of that output driver on the CPU/driver board.

Fix

  • Replace the bulb or coil, or repair the wiring or driver found faulty.
