Quoted from Chochi_ca:

Picked up a pinbot! My sun and energy flashers are not working? Any ideas?

Check all of the flasher bulbs. Most of the flasher bulbs on my Pinbot were bad when I bought it and needed replacement. You'll know right away if the bulbs are bad when you pull them out, they'll most likely be black on the inside. Also make sure that the bulb holders are not bent and shorting out against another holder.

Yup. Just the bulbs. Lol. Thanx!

Glad to hear it's just the bulbs. Don't forget about the flashers going around the ramp.

Update... so my energy flashers are not working along with lower visor gi. Bulbs look good in both. Also during my sound check “sound visor trans” does not change to its own sound. Just keeps playing the test before it. All other coils work. Anywhere to get started?

The visor should have flasher bulbs also, explains the connection.
Check under the playfield for the flasher resistor warming boards, square boards with long sugar cube looking resistors. Wiggle each resitor and make sure they're firmly attached. The resistors can fall off completely due to vibrations. Follow the wires back from the boards and check the terminal connections.
Sounds like the roms need to be pulled and reseated, careful.

The upper relay board on mine looks just like yours, even the yellow relay plastic is cracked.
