One flasher or group of flashers does not work.
Flashers dead on Banzai Run and later: interconnect board resistors
Cause: The flash lamp resistors on the interconnect board run hot enough to desolder themselves, or break from vibration. Their value (4, 5, 7 or 10 ohm) is set by how many bulbs share one driver.
Checks
- Inspect each flash resistor on the interconnect board for cracked joints or breaks; measure it against its marked value.
Fix
- Resolder or replace the resistor with one of the same value and wattage.
