Does the switch and solenoid show ok in each test?

I'm not sure what transistor is for that coil, but that is certainly something to check. I would also check for voltage, and broken wires at the coil, before I dove into transistors.
Quoted from gern:I tested all 4 switches in the outhole/ball trough area. They all registered.
Ok, if you activate the switches in diagnostic test mode, does it change on the display?
I'm sure you have checked that the plunger moves freely in the coil. And so what if you jump power right to the coil, will it fire then?
Quoted from beatmaster:if the switch works, it's gotta be the coil.
re-check that transistor again driving that coil ... lolllll... never know.
That's why I wondered about the coil firing with power direct. I just had that happen on one of mine. The coil winding wire broke loose from the lug. Took me half a day to find it, going through all this same stuff.
Quoted from gern:The plunger does move freely. How would I jump power right to the coil?
On my game, I clip a jumper on the ground braid, and quickly touch the other end on the tab on the transistor. The coil should fire.
Because I'm old I can't remember, did you ever check continuity of the wires to the coil from the conectors.
Quoted from gern:I have no idea, but it's working now! I have no idea why
It's a f*****g miracle! lol.
