Quoted from lilmul123:

Thanks for the heads up on the relays; that was the problem! For whatever reason, the Q relay was stuck off, and did not change when actuated. I manually actuated it back on, which apparently unstuck it, and now it works great again.
I'm not entirely sure if the burned out coil was the problem now (maybe it was just a coincidence?), but it was the kicker for the #2 light on the middle playfield.

I had this issue. Some things work, some don't. Unless you know about the relays it is a real pain to figure out. When you manually actuate it, it might work for a few days but will probably stick again. What I found is it gets magnetized a bit. I ended up having to take the Q relay completely apart and giving it a good cleaning. When I put it back together all has been well since. There wasn't any dirt on it, but it was sticking to the coil plunger.
