Indiana Jones Idol Opto trouble

Well, I've been banging my head on this one for a couple of days now. Long story short, I have got everything working (in theory). GLM three opto board recognizes all open/close positions of the three optos. However, switch test does not acknowledge the activity. Swapped cpu's and the problem doesn't change. Can someone more fluent in schematics explain to me what I am chasing? I guess more specifically, how does the opto board communicate with the brains of the machine?

In the following link click on tech charts and then Indiana Jones. The switch matrix shows how the wires are connected (daisy-chained) and which connectors they go to.

Provide the switch numbers that aren't working and I can be more specific.

Did you use T.14 Idol Lock Test to test the opto's ?
This is together with Path of Adventure (also seperate test) coming from column 9, the 8-driver board.
IIRC they don't show in the normal switch test.

Quoted from zaza:

Excellent! The test failed initially, but I had not done the test since reworking everything. I was testing manually in the switch test. Test passed! Thank you both for taking the time to respond

And a plug for pinball rebel. I use the site from time to time, but I did not know he had the tech charts for a ton of games listed for a quick and easy reference
