Hello! I've been giving my "Scared Stiff" unit a check-up and noticed that none of the #89 Bayonet Bulbs are lighting up.

I just replaced the four (4) #89 Bulbs in the Backbox and while I was at it I replaced the three (3) #89 Bulbs in the Playing Field but still no go. I know that these are "Always On" bulbs/lights but I have no idea if it's a fuse issue or something else. All of my fuses look okay but I can't even locate which fuse operates the #89 Bulbs. Any insights or suggestions are much needed and most welcomed!

Cheers!!

Didn't switch over to LEDs - since none of the Backbox or the Playfield #89 bayonet bulbs are lighting (everything else is working great) my hope is that it's a fus, I've checked my manual but can't figure out which fuse impacts those bulbs.

Yup! Also going to try and trace the wires

Just to make sure I've got it right, the bulbs I'm talking about illuminate the Owl's eyes, the Wolf's eyes, the TV and the Scared Stiff logo on the Backbox/Translite, and the Lightening Bolts (2) and TV on the Play Field

Thanks Pincredible! I just ran a T5 Flasher Test and got nothing to illuminate, so apparently my trouble is with the Flashers

Yup, coin door is closed

I'm a newbie so I just got locked out for an hour. HUGE THANK YOU to all who have responded and great advice - I'll start with the fuses but will definitely also look for broken/blackened wires, connections and such.

Okey dokey - so I checked all of my fuses and everything checked out A-Okay. I played a game and low and behold all but one of the Backbox #89 bulbs started flashing so that's something! Now the Playfield TV #89 and the two Lightning Bolt #89s didn't flash, but I'm wondering if they only come on when you've completed all of the "Tales of Terror" (which I haven't done yet as my game was set to 'Extra Hard' which I've fixed). Anyway, any info regarding these Flashers are much appreciated!

SUCCESS! I wasn't holding down the Big White Switches while running the Flasher Test!! Everything works splendidly! A HUGE THANK YOU for the help here (Pincredible you are incredible!), a much thanks jrivelli - I tested every single fuse and actually discovered that a fuse had been inserted into the wrong place and corrected it. Now to play!

Hey Crash! That is great info - I just pulled the switch out like you said and it was way more easier to view the test - everything illuminated perfectly - fantastic!!

Scared Stiff - Spider Wheel Question -

I've been upgrading my Scared Stiff (Dancing Boogiemen, ColorDMD) and have a quick question regarding the Spider Wheel. When I run a Test it works fine (will spin forever - counts up to 198 then back to 1 and so on) but in play when a ball drops in the chute & spins the Wheel it spins for 8 revolutions and if you haven't selected by then it stops on its own.

I'm guessing this ain't normal and have read online that it should spin for about 35 seconds before stopping on its own. Any advice or suggestions here are most needed and much appreciated!

Happy Holidays!

Much thanks Pincredible! Yup, it stops just fine when I hit either of the flippers and it's dead-on consistent in the 8 1/2 spins until it stops on its own (I even get the audio warning to hit the flippers before it stops). When I saw it mentioned online by someone that the spin should be 35 seconds before auto stop I got nervous that my pcb board may have a defective diod or something. Thanks again!
