Did you just upgrade to LEDs? If so, sounds like you are not using non-ghosting LEDs.

Another possibility is that there are 2 lamp boards toward the middle of the underside of the playfield that has the lamp board wiring swapped between the lamp boards. The 2 lamp boards have the same number of pins and the key in the exact same spot in the lamp board connectors.

I think these are the larger lamp boards. Been over 3 years ago when I ran into this one on a friend's game.

Quoted from Timberhusk:

the two lamp boards in the middle and they have correct connections.

If you find 2 lamp boards with the same key pin and correct number of pins, physically swap the connectors between the 2 lamp boards.

I know this is a problem, I am not exactly sure which were the 2 lamp boards with the same physical molex connections. Too hard to remember 4+ years ago.

Quoted from Timberhusk:

Back to the LED ghosting statement earlier. Can anyone explain what that is and how that could be creating this problem? Should I buy a bunch of old school bulbs and replace all the LED's? Is a mix of LED's and old style ok?

As you replace the LEDs with regular incandescent bulbs, the problem will lessen. If you have all incandescent bulbs installed and it is still doing it, then you would likely have a power driver board issue.
