Hi - I have a BTTF that when I open the coin door and access the switch buttons, I cant get the game to go into the audit or adjustment mode. Normally, having the middle "forward/reverse" switch in the up position would allow me to access the audits/adjustments using the "step" switch. It appears that the game doesn't recognize whether the middle "forward/reverse" switch is in the up or down position. I didn't see any loose wires. Any suggestions? Anyone had this problem with a Data East machine before? Thanks in advance.

Grab a meter, see if switches work, see if you have continuity of each switch wire to the board in the head. A break in the wiring, especially in the door harness could be your problem.

Hi Lloyd - Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm a dumb ass and don't have a meter and wouldn't know how to use it if I did. I looked closely at the wiring and didn't see any breaks. I need to learn more about this.

You are no such thing. You are willing to learn, so you are ahead of the curve.

You can get a meter, or borrow one. YouTube is littered with short videos how to use a meter.

Sit at a table with a meter and a piece of wire and practice, then move onto a game.
