FYI - I just ran the reel test on my working FT to compare. First thing it does is a full spin to find home and stops with hole 1 straight up and opto1 and opto2 closed. Yours is wrong at that point, no hole straight up and opto1 and opto2 open. This means yours is not even finding home correctly to start with. Not sure why. (notice how the graphic shows 1 is straight up, but yours is not when it first stops)
Don't forget to give the motor board a look at also.
Quoted from DCRand:Once in a while, for a ball, or a couple, never a full game, it will not auto fire and the shooter button will fire the coil.
The ball shooter fires when it thinks there is a ball in the shooter lane. You should be looking at the switch in the shooter lane that detects if there is a ball there. Does the switch test show the shooter lane switch working normally and not sticky or intermittently stuck on? If you knock on the playfield to any switches fire, etc?
