Hoping someone will be able to help me. I have a bank of 3 lights out on my Getaway HS2. When I moved the wires while the machine was on it worked again but they were still dim. Since I'm not sure if it is the IDC connector or the header my plan was to replace both. These were the parts from Pinball Life that I was planning to order: .156" (3.96mm) *Crimp & Stuff* 5-Position Housing With Locking Ramp and .156" (3.96mm) Locking Header - 5-PIN and .156" Trifurcon Crimp Terminals. Is this correct? Should be an easy fix but it will be my first official soldering attempt.

It's almost certainly just bad solder joints on the header pins. Try resoldering them before spending any money.

Those parts do look compatible though. You may also want a key if the existing connector has one (prevents you putting it on backwards)

The current connector has a key/small plastic pin. I will try to resolder and see how it goes. Thank you!

Quoted from JerryM:

Youtube has lots of short how to videos. Heat joint and reflow solder on the pins the connector plugs onto on the board.
