Hello, I am making progress on bringing a Demo Man back to life. I put a new RottenDog WPC PDB in it but am having a GI issue.

The two strings of GI lights on only the 6 pin (Violet) and 11 pin (White/Violet) of J120 & J121 do not light up.

-I traced continuity from the plugs through the entire circuit. No issues.

-I crimped just these two wires in each plug into a molex connector just to see if there was corrosion in the plugs, no difference.

-All fuses are good, checked both in and out of board.

-Swapping the plugs' location did not change anything.

-If I offset the connectors by one pin, so pin 5 and 10, the strings come on.

Is this a board issues? It is brand new, but all of my checking is telling me it is a board issue.

I see in the WPC schematics that J115 feeds this circuit, so I still need to check that to make sure that plug is fine, so I guess that could be it as well?

If I am putting LED's in, would there be any problems with wiring these to other GI lines so they light? One is a string in the backbox (J120) and the other is the left sling/return lanes (J121). I could tap into the other strings in the backbox for J120 and the right sling/return for J121.

Thanks in advance for any insight! I will post if it ends up being J115.

Thanks for the reply. I figured the load wouldn't be a problem. But I agree, I didn't want to lose the controlled portion of those lights.

Good news then, it was the J115 connector. I switched it from IDC to crimp and they came on no issues. I just need to bite the bullet and convert all the PDB connections to crimp. There have been a ton of these with oxidation that have caused issues.

Thanks again! Have a good one!
