Working on my sonic mars trek and I'm having trouble with the ball counter, when the game starts it shows as ball one but as soon as it kicks the ball out its like the ball index relay fires again and moves it to ball 2. Not sure what's going on here would appreciate any help.

Nope just goes straight to ball 2

So the ball count is resetting and then the ball index is firing. If I block the ball index relay from firing I get ball 1. So should the index relay be firing or is it happening in the wrong order.

HowardR you are awesome, it was the 100's causing it, I went through it using the paper method to isolate everything and once I figured out it was the 100s I tracked that back to a switch on the playfield. Thank you so much, new to em's so I appreciate the help!
