    Quoted from soozgs500:

    Would it be rare that all three diodes for drop targets are bad?

    That situation is pretty much impossible unless the diodes are mounted elsewhere and got disconnected. First thing to check is that your drop target coils are getting power. If they have power, you can test the coils out by connecting an alligator clip momentary between the metal side rail of the pin and the banded side of the diode (Cathode). If the coil fires, then the ground return path is your issue. Since you mentioned all 3 do not register, and the connectors on the PF look ok, make sure they're connected on the MPU side as well. I'm going to guess you've got a break in your power chain before it gets to those 3 coils.

    Shooter lane kicker issue is likely due to the shooter lane switch not registering properly, since it works in test mode (and doesn't require a switch trigger). You may just have to adjust the switch or clean it (or both).
