I'll preference this by saying that I'm newish to EMs, so this is the deepest I've gone on anything so far. (Previous experience is adjusting switches and cleaning steppers, and not much else).
When the ball ends, the bonus lights do not step down. If I use my hand to trigger the bonus stepper, then the bonus lights step down properly. Since the bonus does not run itself down to zero, this screws up the end of ball sequence.
We'll start with the easiest thing, I've not seen the bonus step down coil fire. (Aside: Looking at the schematic, I see a coil called "Bonus Reset"...I assume this is the coil I'm talking about. A little confusing since another coil is called "Bonus Step Up"...so I at first was looking for "Bonus Step Down",which isn't anywhere on the schematic.) It tests at around 8ohms. Most other coils of similar size on the machine are closer to 4ohms. Does this mean the coil is bad? I was thinking I could test it by grounding to the side rail, but either that's not working or I'm doing it wrong.
