For some reason, one strand of lights in my World Cup soccer has very little power and the other is fine, making the translite look dark and light in various places. I can tell which strand it is based on which lights are doing this but have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions?

Check GI Molex plug..!

What does the GI molex plug look like. I just went through the manual and couldn't find it. Thanks again

Just figured it out. Loose wire. Thank you

If it is loose because the plastic is getting brown and brittle you may want to think about replacing. Coyote is right about pointing out those GI connectors. Notoriously bad on this game for burning up.

Sorry I wasn't more clear when I posted that - I was on my phone at an auction. But, yeah - they burn up badly on WPC games, and likely it's browned or the pins are tarnished, which is adding resistance to the circuit (causing more heat, etc..)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I did get it working better but will take your advice
