This just started after I installed some very basic lighting mods. I had to leave town for work so I could not trouble shoot right away. What are some of the primary reasons for occasional auto plunge when the game should not?

Thanks

Stuck shooter lane switch, or short to switch matix.

Reseat the connectors to the small opto boards on the ball trough, see if it helps.

Quoted from Brentslane:

Switch test, see if any are closed that should be open, trigger switches and see if wrong ones report on DMD.
