#4 flip flag will not flip over, does flip back after I manually flip it over.
There are two spots on the playfield (a rollover and a target) that should flip the #4 flag over, this is not happening.
Both spots will advance the bonus and ring the chime, light stays on, but will not flip the flag.
All other flags work as they should.

I located the #4 relay (2nd pic), the circled switch should flip the flag, it does not.
I determined which switch it was by checking another flag.

I also noticed on the #4 flip relay the
coil is not being energized. (pic 1)

Now, where does power come from for that switch?

Cleaned the contacts, tried bridging them, moved them manually, nothing happens.
Where else can I check?

Hi Mark, my problem is when you hit or rollover the #4 flag switches on the playfield the #4 relay clicks the bonus advance and the chime but does not flip the flag.
I circled the switch in the 2nd pic, I move it manually, jump it, nothing.
All the other flags work fine from the same switch.
By watching the other flags, the coil (flip relay) is energized to flip the flag.
In the 1st pic (#4 flip relay) the coil is never energized.
Help!

Mark, you are right, when I manually flip the flag, the relay does trip.
So my problem appears to be that make/break switch you mentioned under the flag, see pic.
It is really tucked away.

Mark, I checked that switch again with an ohmmeter, turns out I didn't clean it very well, recleaned it.
Bingo!!!

Thanks so much!
