Wondering if you guys can help me out. During the initial test on startup, I get a diverter error. When I go through the supercharger test, the diverter opens and closes with no problem. But when playing the diverter just stays closed all the time (except for maybe 1 in 20 games it will open up and the supercharger works). Otherwise it just bypasses the supercharger.

I checked the opto on the "on ramp"in the switch test and it seems to work fine... but during play if I block the opto, nothing happens.

Would love to have anyone's ideas on what might be wrong.... one question I have though is at what point is the diverter supposed to be open? Does it open only when supercharger is lit, or does it open when supercharger is lit and a ball passes the opto?

Thanks for the responses everyone.

during the switch test, it registers when I break the opto beam, but during gameplay, when I break the beam (with the SC light on), the diverter does not open to the left. also during solenoid test, it opens and closes the diverter with no problem.

Based on that I did do a factory reset and still got the "diverter error" at startup. I'll play around a bit more with it this evening and see what else might be causing the issue. Might end up just changing the opto anyways to see if that helps.

Quoted from bbriese:

While we're on the subject of toppers, Last month I decided to add some blue up there because to me that red light looks more like an ambulance than a cop car, and it's been bugging me for a while. So here's what I did:

1. Tapped into the beacon motor & light AC power source (which is something like 16-17VAC??) and fed it through a 12VDC converter from EBay. Redid the molex connector (the last one in the circtuit before the motor & lamp) so that it still fed the lamp and motor but also branched off into the 12VDC converter, and mounted the converter to the upper right side of the head.

2. Bought a couple of 12" long Knight Rider blue 12VDC lights off ebay which have a canned chase/strobe/blink routine built in.

3. Added comet matrix plugs to the LED strips.

4. Notched a small hole in the perforated head panel for the LED wire leads to run into the cabinet.

5. Stuck the LEDs to the back of the head with the double stick tape,one on each side of the beacon. I liked them in the back because the blue point lighting is more diffused and not blasting right into your eyes.

6. Plugged it all together

And viola. For about $20 and a couple hours I solved it. It is really easy to un-do and everything is up in the head so no issues with running long wire runs all over. Here are the component links and a quick video of the finished product. It looks kickasssss...at least to me anyways.

bbriese - Love this mod.... a couple questions...

Can you show a pic of how you modified the Molex connector? I would have just used a standard solderless splice, but I'm sure plugging in directly to molex would be cleaner.

Next you say you used comet matrix plugs... what is this for? why not just connect the LED strips directly to the converter (or am I missing something here). Again, would love to see pics!

As soon as those items come in I'm doing this mod.
