Hi there.

I'm having an issue in my Mars God of War machine where it's supposed to rotate though the M-A-R-S lights by the rollover switches/lights on at the top of the machine/pop up bumpers when I hit the right flipper button, but it's not working. I can't find anything online to help me troubleshoot this issue. Anyone know how to fix this, or can point me in the right direction?

Check the right flipper switches and make sure they are all making contact and no wires have fallen off. You could also test the switch for continutity with a DMM. Did it ever work?

Everything seems to be intact, but i'll check to make sure. I'm not sure if it ever worked. Got the machine from a barn, hadn't been played in 10+ years.

Sorry for the delayed response, haven't had a chance to mess around with it.

Everything is intact. Flipper itself works, no wires have fallen off.
I have attached some pictures.

I think you will find your lane change switch is on the lower right flipper mechanism EOS switch stack. There is a second set of switch contacts there.

I messed around with the flipper switch stack and now the flipper is completely dead...

Hey guys, I just cleaned the contacts (which were super dirty!) and reset everything and both the flipper and lane change switch are working! Don't attempt repairs at 10 at night!

Thanks for the help!
