Is the outhole relay closing during the reset cycle? It should be... this is key for bonus unit to move to the "O" position...
because a NO switch (orange-green) on the Outhole relay, when closed, along with a NO 6D score motor switch when closed will fire the bonus step up solenoid one step to the "O" or 1st bonus position.
So does the bonus unit never pulse past it's starting position?
Quoted from BBC:Thanks dono. Yes , the out hole relay does activate. In fact, I activates over and over along with the drop target bank and the coil on the coin door.
OK, then definitely check the path from the orange-green outhole relay switch to the 6D score motor switch to the bonus step up solenoid... I use an alligator clip attached to both ends of a long wire to bypass things in the circuit to eliminate/pinpoint issues... you could clip one lead to the orange-green switch contact on the Outhole relay to the hot lead on the bonus step up solenoid...
Good luck, check back.
Quoted from BBC:Hi everyone, got it fixed today. As I was hooking up the jumpers dono suggested, the bonus stepped up at the end of the start up like it was supposed to. Turns out the step up coil had a bad solder connection, I resoldered and it works great. Thanks for everyone’s help!!!!
Awesome, glad you were able to solve your issue.
