From my Future Spa...the only lamps working are the ones driven from Q3, Q4, Q9, and Q10. Can you tell from this information which component(s) need to be replaced?

Bad Q1 or Q2 output on the 4013 chip? Logic probe should show activity on the 4013 at p1 and p13 during lamp test.

If I checked correctly, I do have activity (pulse) at pins 1 and 13.

Have all of the header pins been reflowed?

yes

Quoted from dothedoo:

I did a diode check with DVM from ground to all the pins on the 4013 and compared to a good aux lamp driver board and noticed differences, to the extent that I think the 4013 is bad (even though there is pulse activity at the outputs). I will order a 4013 today and hope that fixes the problem.

Makes sense. That is the common component for each of your issues.

You can verify what is good by hooking up a test lead to TP1 5v on the board and probing around.
Given only that I4 data is working it's either a bad 14013 chip, input resistor, or most likely a bad connection to the board.

SOLVED: Replaced the 4013 chip and all is good again.

yay. Sometimes a bad chip isnt as simple as a blown gate output since the logic probe showed activity. Having a working example to compare to helps in situations like this. Makes sense it was the 4013 tho given your symptoms. have fun
