Just finished a pf swap on EK, and during gameplay the pop bumpers will either be on, then slowly dim and finally die out, then come on again. I noticed one or 2 other lights doing too near the drop target bank -

Just dropped the pf back into the game a coupe days ago - i didnt replace the entire ground braid, i am assuming it's related to some kind of connection/ground issue but weird its only the pops and maybe one or 2 other lights?

I didnt see anything obvious touching/loose wires under the pf and plan on rebuilding the connectors and beefing up the boards, I have had this thing apart a long time and was getting anxious to play it again so dropped it into the cab. Worked out all the mechanical issues, this is the only electrical one so I guess it could be worse.....maybe i should jiggle some connectors -

Well, popped the hood last night and double checked the ground braid near the lights in front of the drop targets and sure enough a piece was frayed and had let go - snipped it out and replaced w new - everything is nice and bright now.
