Quoted from mark532011:

hmmm, except we have been using the table for 2 years and it never did this before. I have not checked the temp of the connector before but the problem has not surfaced before this... bizarre

Resistance goes up as things age.

Williams always had issues with GI all the way to the end of WPC 95.

You can replace the bulbs with 47's they are dimmer but draw less current. As a compromise on my games I put 47's (or LEDs in some games) in the backbox, and the 44's on the playfield (where the greater illumination is needed).

Moving the GI off the board helps too, with some nice beefy .093 connectors.
