Ok..this is my first pin...everything is working pretty well. Here is my newb question...I've had it for a few months now. Sometimes the left loop switch would stick, and if the ball drained out the right outlane, another switch would close. I switched out the left loop switch for a new one and all is well and is no longer sticking...now my question...

If those 2 switches are both held down manually in switch edge mode, it activates the right ramp exit 2 switch...is that normal? The diodes are all facing the correct location (black side facing the white wire and silver bar by itself on the last leg of the switch) I am not sure if its just because the 2 switches are open together, that it causes that issue to occur...thank you and I hope this makes sense!!

I've switched out every diode on the 4 corners...the 4th corner is an always closed switch..and it shows as always closed in the matrix...does that always closed switch have an actual switch with a diode?

Quoted from zaza:

That sounds correct but be sure the white wire is connected to 'normally closed'

That was the issue...starting looking at every switch in the 4 corners, and sure enough, right outlane was wired to common...the game was bought that way, so when i replaced the switch, i just kept it the same without looking!! Thank you so much!!!
