This is an extension of the post I have in the tech Modern sub-forum... looks like no one in there has been stupid enough to pull this off, but wait, i am.

I shorted the lamp matrix column that handles the cabinet buttons against the switch matrix for the claw handle buttons...

It was really late and i was reassembling the left handle and i kept seeing the switch matrix line light up when i tightened the handle screws all the way. if i left them a little tight, it was fine.. anyway I cranked down on it and the wires pressed through the insulation and shorted against each other - i am using led lit claw thumb buttons - next time i know to take 3 seconds and move the wires away properly...

as a result fuse f114 blew (8a) and now i have some lights in my light matrix that seem to be lighting even tho they are on separate columns in the matrix. So if ball save lights, so does the center ramp light...

ok... uh.. help?

switches seem to be ok, they are still registering ok on the switch tests.. I will go over them again, but thanks for this.

for lamps, i have disconnected J137 and did a continuity test between pin 1 and pin 9 that correspond to the columns that seem to be lighting at the same time when i go through the bulb test... and there is no continuity between them,.

I separated them from each other.

The look of disbelieve of seeing threads I just pressed into and thru the insulation must have been priceless...

I'm hoping ur right.... now to find out which one...

So effectively the lamps on thie column are basically being driven by its correct transistor and the other one that's not turning off? But at the same time?
