I have three light sockets not working. They are the number 1, 2 and 5 in the middle of the playfield. I've tried leds and incandescents. Anyway I can test the socket? I have a multimeter but no idea how to use it. Attached is a photo of the socket

I must not be taking the readings from the correct spot. Insert 1 measured 4v, insert 2 measured 7v insert 5 measured 5v. I tried multiple bulbs in insert 2 and still no light.

Diodes tested good

Thanks, it has to be a bad socket. I'm not getting any switch issues.

Here is the schematic, looks like they are all in a line after number 4.

Quoted from Mageek:

I would say Strobe 8 (Violet black black) wire is broken between "Snow boarding" and "Mogul", assuming L84 is not used or not working.

I checked for continuity between the socket and plug along the v/b/b wire and it checked out.

Not sure what L84 is or where it is

A drop of solder on the first socket and braid wire connecting to the other 3 sockets. Apparently there wasn't a good connection.
