On my police force in switch test mode I am get a car error 31. So I ordered a new switch. The car isn't in the correct position. Does that mean the switch isn't working to stop the car?

Thanks in advance

Quoted from KenLayton:

The belt that moves the car may be stretched and slipping.

Car is working, it's moving but the switches aren't stopping it..

Quoted from arakissun:

It can be the relay for the car under playfiled.I had this problem before

I think it is the relay switches, but I've tried bending them and it doesn't seem to work.. I'll do more tomorrow..

I manually put the car in the correct position, and you can see the front relay switch isn't closed.. When I bend it it still doesn't bend right. I need to see someone else's relay switch and how it's bent. I did tighten the belt too..

I have a police car error on my machine and my motor works but when it moves it doesn't stop in the right position. It goes passed the point to hold the ball for multi-ball. When I look underneath the playfield I noticed a switch that the car hits but doesn't stop. I don't know if it's a bad switch or not? Also could someone post a picture of the belt underneath the playfield. Mine just doesn't look right...

Thanks in advance..

You get a photo yet choggard? If not, lmk. Replacing some ramps tomorrow, so I'll be under the ' cop cars' hood. Have fun~Spooky

No photo yet, thanks I need a photo of the pulley areas where the car runs. I think my switch are bad or something is not hooked up right.. Thanks in advance-Cory

Just replaced both switches and the damn car still tries to drive down off the ramp.. Could it be a connector problem? If so I am not good at reading schematics.. Could someone tell me what connector I should be looking at..

Thanks in advance..

In switch test it's just says car error 31...

Car error up 31 and car error down 32

Switch 45 is bad too...

Alright fixed all switches, but the car only goes forward but not backwards.. Why would it not go backwards?

Quoted from LTG:

If power goes through a relay on a small circuit board, try reflowing the solder on that.
LTG : )

Could you tell me which connector would have to be reflowed? Not good at reading schematics..

Here's the manuals link

Not connector.
If there is a small circuit board with a relay on it, for the motor. Pull that board and reflow the solder on the parts holding the relay to the board.
LTG : )

Okay where is that? I'll look.. Many thanks!!

Alright I see it, but it looks like it held on by solder in the middle of it.. That doesn't look easy to get off

So take them off and resolder the joints where the connectors are at?

Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:

Here are a couple pics from my working Police Force, I have the machine open and if you want more I will gladly provide them to you.
The pics are the top and bottom switches for the moving car...

Thanks got it!
