Hey,

So on my Special Force i'm having some issues regarding some bulbs. The right flasher does not work when firing rockets, the collect bonus does not work, the 3 red circles by the bumper's do not work, and the left bumper's light stays illuminated as if it is a GI - it never shuts off or flashes.

I tried reseating the connection for the collect bonus light but it did not work - the adjacent bomb bulb it shared the connector with, however, worked as it should and went out until the wire was back in. I followed the left bumper to I believe to be J13 pin 12 or 13 - so I disconnected both and oddly enough the bumper's light's never went out - the GI's that shared the wire did, however.

I couldn't find what lights the flashers and the 3 red circles would be considered in the manual so I didn't mess with any pin's for those. I already changed the bulb's for every one of these too no avail.

Hmmm. The flashers work in a chain so if one goes out, they all do. But if you replaced them all, then that is likely not your problem. Did you trace the wires to make sure there were no breaks?

Not sure about the other issues.

what happens in test mode

Well Raff, an odd issue has occurred - the game plays fine, however, I cannot reach test mode. Everytime I try to reach it, I go straight into switch test mode and a bunch of switches go off on the alert sequence - but the thing is - they're fine and the game scores and plays perfectly. Last time I had this issue it was because the PF solenoid died - but I replaced the current one and still have the same issue.
