I have been tinkering with a problem that has developed in my steps diverter. It's been intermittently working but sometimes stays open so it's diverted to the steps every time. I checked the mech and coil and for any loose or broken wire connections and everything seems good. Tonight the trap door has been flakey also now sometimes staying open and not shutting when it's supposed to and other times working fine. Any ideas of where to start here? Both coils fire In Test mode.

Did the return spring get loose or break that's what happened with mine.

It's not the return spring. I did a little more investigating and found that once the trap door is open it will not shut and I think I can hear the coil trying to close it?

In FH, is open the same as energized? If so, sounds mechanical.

Bump. Also when I turn the game on I hear three or four clicks. I'm thinking it's the coil on the trap door trying to shut it as it starts the game open now. Still have no idea what might be happening with the steps diverter.

Was this issue resolved? Having the same problem with my FH. When in multiball, I relight the trapdoor jackpot by hitting the ramp but the ball is diverted to steps lane in stead on in lane and subsequently drained. Very strange.
