Quoted from cody_chunn:Note: The EOS can heat up enough to melt the plastic spacer between switches. This makes it possible to short solenoid voltage into the switch matrix. You can also do it by accident fiddling with it with the power on.
VERY common. As far as I know once this happens you have to buy a whole new stack. I do not think the spacer is available as an individual part (at least it wasn't when mine melted ) 
Quoted from Hotelone:Thanks, I'll order a complete switch stack and keep looking. One question from a complete n00b: If the lane change switch is normally open unless the flipper is activated how does the system detect the problem with the switch on startup? Something's got to be shorting, right? Thanks again for all the help....

If the switch hasn't been activated in x amount of games, the machine assumes it is broken and the alert goes out.
Quoted from Hotelone:Thanks, then once the problem is corrected and the switch is activated the error goes off? Thanks again...
Vince
correct!
