Hey guys-

Just noticed the Ramp Motor in my Gottlieb Gladiators isnt working anymore. I've tried to engage the motor in test (listed as sol 22), but nothing.

Some things I've tried so far:
*I've tested for continuity across all fuses under the playfield and by the power supply
*I've tested Q23 and that looks to be fine (doing continuity test with ground), the manual has this going to sol 22
*I've measured AC voltage at the plug (A9J23) and was getting a constant 35V, in test or out of test, the motor is 50VAC
*I've bench tested the motor and it spins up

The one thing I've noticed is that the test menu shows the Ramp Motor as "Relay B", but I cannot find any such relay. The others I've seen (Q, T, etc).

I've tried looking through the manual I have, and really can't seem to find anything else to try, short of trying to hand follow the wire harness.

Any insight would be appreciated!

** Solved **

Thanks Gottlieb lol, I was looking for the relay by the other banks, but it’s LITERALLY right by the motor. Of course the manual doesn’t mention this relay at all.

Just needed to be reseated and we’re all good!

Hopefully this saves someone else a few hours of wasted time
