I have a MET premium where the control (feature) lamps are out - this includes for example fuel, gauge and lights in front of Sparky. I checked all the fuses. Traced the wires from board to board for the feature lights to ensure they were all were seated tightly. I also ran diagnostics for the lamps, and they did not light up with exception of what you see in the photo lighting up (including the top 6 or so LEDs on the panel above Sparky). Otherwise, the game plays fine.

What do you suggest to get feature lamps working?

Thanks!

check those fuses again,pull them out and test with a meter...if they are not working in test,attract mode,gameplay then its highly suspect that its a fuse.

GI lighting can go out completely with one connector under the PF that oxidizes. I don't think it controls the feature lights there, but it's likely a fuse or oxidized connection.

I don't think it will affect the feature lights, but you can try the suggestions in this thread when I had a GI problem with Met Prem:

check the connection on both ends of the gray cat-5 cable that runs from the backbox to the underside of the playfield. I used to have a lot of issues with this happening intermittently, but it has since stopped

I believe that if there isn't enough slack in the cable, it can pull the cable from the connectors and cause sporadic issues like the ones that you are experiencing
