    So I upgraded to leds
    Rebuilt flippers and change rubber
    Now my
    Slingshot switch’s
    All 3 bumper switches
    And DIG switches do not work
    All 8 of those share a common wire
    I have checked fuses wiring but cannot find a problem
    Any help would be appreciated

    Follow that green/blue wire from J207.6 (the wire is securely punched down in the connector pin?) to all affected switches. Check for broken/loose wire.

    Did you do any of that work with the game powered up?

    No I did not
    I thinks it’s the uln2803 chip
    I traced the wire back to the connector
    I have low voltage out of it compared to all the others
    I removed the wire from that terminal
    And put it into a different switch terminal
    With it in a different spot it all works fine
    I then checked voltage at the uln2803 chip for that wire
    It had good voltage in compared to the others all the same on each pin
    But on the output pin for the switch driver was very low
    Like 2 volts
    Others if I remember correct were around 5v

    Sounds like you have done good work. If it's not corrosion or cold solder or defective component or summink like that, it appears you have discovered the culprit.

    Unless someone else sees something I'm missing?
