Addams Family, The
Bally, 1992Hi All,
I'm stumped on something here. I'm working on an Addams Family and noticed that a greed letter triggered every time the chair is shot. Ran some switch tests and discovered that Bookcase Opto 1 closes and stays closed when the chair switch is closed. I looked at the connectors and the board and can't see any obvious issues, bridges, etc. but maybe I'm missing something?
Thanks for your help!

Likely a backwards diode on the chair switch.
Quoted from CLEllison:Likely a backwards diode on the chair switch.
Thanks, I'll have a look!

Looks correct to me, no?

No. Look at any of your other micro mini switches. Same wiring pattern. White wire to black end of diode., green wire to a lug, silver band end of the diode to a lug.
Your white wire is on the wrong spot. Move it over to the black end of the diode. Then it's right. Don't turn the diode around.
