You mean for the LEDs in the pops? Yes, just clip those wires to remove the LED from the assembly. Then trace the wires back to the control board mounted under the playfield and disconnect them from that PCB.

Having an issue with my spinning character pop bumper that has me stumped. I installed this about 6 months ago and it's been working perfectly until now. In gameplay, it seems like the motor is very weak, causing the character to just twitch instead of spinning most of the time. Enough hits will eventually get him spinning, but even then he seems to be spinning slower than normal.

I've run him in the coil test a few times and he seems to be functioning normally there. I can't replicate the issue in test mode. I've taken the assembly apart and checked the motor. Everything seems fine there. The motor isn't heating up and it spins hard in test mode. The barrel seems to be firmly tightened onto the motor shaft. I reseated the connectors under the playfield too. Still, when I go back into gameplay, he barely moves. Has anyone encountered this issue? I'm thinking about trying to replace the motor even though it's testing good, just to see if that makes a difference. I'm hoping it's not a pcb issue.

Thanks. I actually had done like you suggested and swapped it to the hookup for the other pop bumper, but I was still getting the same results. Long story short, I ended up swapping out the motor and it's been working great ever since. I'm not sure why the bad motor performed better in test than in gameplay, but after seeing the difference, the replacement motor is definitely spinning harder in test than the old one was.
