Having some issues with my MM. In switch test mode if I push a switch other switches fire. I believe my issue is on row 5. Attaching a picture. Below is what is happening with the row.

switch 15 - switch 15 registers but immediately after switch 35 fires (opto)
switch 25 - fires normally
switch 35 - fires normal (opto)
Switch 45 - switch 35 fires first (the trough opto) and then immediately after switch 45 fires
Switch 55 - fires normally
Switch 65 - Fires normally
Switch 75 - Firest normally

I replaced the diodes on swithes 15, 25 and 45. No improvement.

Sort of scratching my head. I do have a dmm and can test the diodes on any switch. Any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from pintechev:

It’s either a diode is installed backwards, or you have switch wiring backwards somewhere.

Thanks, how do you know if they are backwards. Do I check the row, column or could it be somewhere else?

Could this be it? Notice how each troll is wired a little different. Green on bottom on one and green in top on the other. Not sure which way it should go.

Quoted from wellarmed:

Check all switches. White goes always on the opposite side of the band of the diode. Check standup targets first!

Check out troll giving me issue. It has green on banded side. Dealing with kids right now. Will swap and report back in a couple hours. Plus culprits are normally from bad teching. I can tell this troll was replaced. Should I swap wires or diode or it doesn't matter as long as you do one or the other? Sorry, pic sucks but green definitely on banded side.
