That's a pretty nice Christmas present there Grandpa!

I just joined the club myself last weekend, mine needs a few mechanical repairs but otherwise a sweet ride!

Just curious, how old is your grandson? I wish one of my relatives would have given me a pin for Christmas, better than underwear, that's for sure!

Can any of guys with a light up police car on the pf tell me what it's connected to? Mine came with a car already installed and it's tapped into the beacon wiring. The problem is when the beacon lights up, only a few lights on the roof of the car light up and stay on steady. I disconnected the car and touched the wires to a 9v battery and all the lights were flashing fine, so I'm guessing that's not the place for it to be connected.

Thanks!

Thanks, but I was wondering where is it connected to? The beacon, supercharger flasher, or some other 12v source?

I was wondering if any of you guys might be able to help me figure out how the cop car mod is hooked up. Mine already had it installed as well as the strobe light mod on top.

The car is tapped into the wiring for the strobe lights, which is tapped into the beacon connector. Not a great looking connection and I'm not going to leave it that way after fixing this issue.

The problem is the cop car doesn't light up like it should. Only the right side of the roof lights come on and stay on steady. I disconnected the car and touched the wires to a 9v battery and all the lights flash as they should, so I know it's not the car. I also tried reversing the connection to the car, disconnecting the strobe lights and tapping it straight to the beacon connector, and always with the same results.

After trying everything I can think of, I'm out of ideas. Can any of you post a pic of the connections for the car? Is it even hooked to the beacon? I can't find any info on this, thanks!

Yeah thanks!

Now I have to figure out why it isn't working.

I had intermittent right flipper issues on mine as well, after reading through this whole thread I found a post where someone mentioned the new flipper button eos switch blades were longer than the originals and making contact with the shooter coil plunger. Sure enough, that was the issue with mine. A prior owner had replaced the flipper button eos switches and they were too long. Usually during multi-ball is when the flippers would act up because as the machine is kicking out balls and I was hitting the flippers, the shooter coil plunger would make contact with the depressed switch blades and cause various weak/dead right flippers.

One of my switch blades was obviously bent out of shape, yours looks like it has a slight bend as well indicating there could be some contact going on. The way I checked for clearance after straightening out the switch blade was to shine a flashlight down between the apron/cab (glass and machine off of course), took a small screwdriver and pushed the shooter coil plunger in while holding the right flipper button in (this would be a lot easier with the apron off, but I had just enough space to do this step). They made contact and that's all it takes to have problems. I re-mounted the switch down to where the longest blade just covered the flipper button center, plus I wrapped it with electrical tape just for a little extra protection. No problems since.

Don't know for sure if that's your issue, but it can't hurt to check.

This is your pic, see how that one switch blade is slightly bent?
