I've got a Space Station with no GI or condition green lights on the entire left side. Right side works fine. I metered it at the socket and got nothing. Can anyone help me out with some idea of what to do?

Condition green is what happens when you get multi ball. The regular GI shuts off and a set of green lights come on.

Good ideas. I'll check those fuses and the harness for continuity and report back.

Well, I'm stumped. All the fuses checked good, and all wires have continuity back to the head as far as I can tell. Any other ideas?

Quoted from Chosen_S:

Check the relays under the left side of the play field , I'm having to replace one of mine, my whole left side was dark

I looked at them a bit. When I turn on the GI solenoid test, the one for the right side of the field clicks on and off but the left one does not. I swapped the relay boards around and the problem stayed the same. That should rule out a problem with the relay pcb, right?

Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:

Hey I have a Space Station I am restoring for someont and it has the same issue. GI lighting on the right but not left. How do the connectors look that go to the power board? I checked mine and they are burned up and that might be the issue for mine. Have you looked at the connectors on the power board? Also don't rule out "Cold Solder Joints" on the male part of the boards. Where are you located? Perhaps we can collaborate by phone if you want. Send me a PM if interested.

I have found some burnt connectors. My next step in the attack is to start at the power board and follow the voltage and see where it stops. I'll send you a PM though.

I fixed it! I found a burnt connector on the relay board which led me to checking the backside of the board. Found a cold solder joint and Bob's your uncle.
