The flipper will not work UNLESS the left flipper (which works fine) has its button held down. Then you can use the right flipper as long as the left one is held down.
If you release the left flipper, you get one or two weak flips from the right flipper button before it dies again.

Thoughts?

Thanks?

Weak ground or something going on with the wimpy one.

Why would one flipper's action have any impact on the other one if it's a grounding issue?

Made a better path for current to follow.

The three lugs on the coil for the left flipper all test good for continuity with one another. One of the lugs on the right flipper does not test good with the others - perhaps a wire within the coil has broken off?

Turns out this was a poorly adjusted switch on the flipper. All good now.

What does the switch look like underneath? I'm having a similar problem except the flipper switches seem to be open and fine. It doesn't look like I'm getting any arching when I press the flipper buttons. I just installed a new MPU board and the flippers seemed to work just fine. I checked the driver board for a blown transistor to fix a different problem and now that the driver board is installed again the right flipper won't fire. Could it be bad connectors or something I'm overlooking? Any help would be appreciated.
