Trying to to get a Car Hop working again. The game was recently serviced and it worked fine.

During play, the center target stopped working. I turned the game off and on again, it boots but will not start a game. No coils will fire in test mode. Fuses are OK. I have the schematics, where to start looking?

You verified the fuses under the playfield and the ones on the bottom of the cabinet? There is a game over relay on gottliebs usually under the playfield near the back. One of the switches on the coil provides coil voltage. Make sure that coil is engaging and that switch is closed

While looking for the under playfield fuse I discovered a loose connection to the bullseye target - which I soldered back on. And now everything works!
