Since I have owned this game I have always had this issue:
Lamp column 3 and 4 lights all light together even in single lamp test.

I have traced the wires and could not find any case of bridging the two column wires together. And I would think that if that did happen, it would not affect both columns entirely. Is there anything on the boards in the backbox that could be causing the two columns to light together or is the issue only under the playfield?

Thanks,
Dave

I should clarify the problem

When I test in single lamp mode:
1) Row 3 lamp 13 and Row 4 lamp 14 each light together
2) This repeats for every lamp on both rows

A visual inspection of each of the connectors and wiring to the lamp sockets does not show any obvious shorting. (It is very difficult to access / see the WOW light and Ringmaster light board)

What is the best way to troubleshoot next?

That is exactly correct.

Following that further:
Next is Row 2 lamp 23 and lamp 24 at the same time...all the way down both rows

Quoted from terryb:

Just to be clear, does that also happen in reverse. When light 14 should be on, does light 13 also turn on?

Yes.

The problem is isolated to both rows all the way ACROSS (LOL) to rows.

It seems like pin 4 and 5 on the same connector.

Thanks,
Dave

I just noticed that in the manual the connector for the lamp matrix for columns is J121 and on my machine it is plugged into J123. Can someone with a CV please confirm if the Yellow/xx lamp column connector is plugged into J121 or J123. There is nothing currently connected to J121. I want to be sure there is no error in the manual.
