Quoted from Sirgubster9:

So this thread is a year old but I'm super hoping you can help me out like you did this guy. I'm having this exact same problem. I have a Maverick pin which doesn't have an inter connect board. Any chance I can just replace a couple parts like this guy did?

Check the flipper board in the cabinet.
Most likely it has bad header pins.

Which flipperboard is now in the game?
It should be a 520-5076-00 board.

Do the led's blink on the SSFB when you press the flipper buttons?

The switches from the SSFB are done electronic.
Here is a part of the schematics which show the 3 transistors for each flipper.
The red line is the "Switch Drive" and should be the Green-Gray wire.
The pink line is the "Switch Return 8" and activates sw. 64 (White-Gray wire).
The green line is the "Switch Return 7" and activates sw. 63 (White-Violet wire).
The blue line is for the upper flipper and isn't used as you can see on the left side of the image.

If neither of your flipper switches register, check the green-gray wire for good connection.

For the record, 520-5076-00 is a modified 520-5033-03 board.
Same functions, but with an added safety for failing EOS switches.

Quoted from Sirgubster9:

Ps. Thanks so much for diagram you found and is this in theory the green grey wire? This is connected to my cpu board so Ill probably check connection there but more likely much further down by flipper board but ya is this the culprit color?[quoted image][quoted image]

Nope, wroung connector.
These are the coils.

You need to check CN8 (more to the right).
Check if the wire is firmly seated.
Like Bobukcat said, check the whole column for good operation.
