Recent purchase of a Flintstones. It doesn’t look like any of my flashers are working.

I tried the test mode, however, the diagnostics don’t seem to be cooperating either. I’m not great with boards and the like or reading schematics. Can someone point me in the right direction ( using layman’s terms if possible) for checking/fixing the flashers?

Thanks

In test mode, do the coils work ? High power interlock switch pulled out ?

Moving on. Have you pulled and tested the flasher fuse with a meter ?

Are the bulbs good ?

Thanks for responding.

The fuses are good, bulbs have been tested and replaced and dead ones.

Just learned about needing to have the interlock switch pulled out. I’ll try that and then run the test.

Interlock switches appear to be a push in as opposed to pulled out. Does that sound correct? I tried the test with them pushed in and still no flashers.

The LED affiliated with power to the flashers is lit and the fuse tests positive for continuity.

Any other suggestions of what to look at?

Top switch is high power. Some pull out, others have to be held in.

Coin door closed. Game turned on. Check the 20 volt test point on the driver board in the head.

Had a similar issue. Change the fuse! Even if it seems good - change it! Works great now.
