Its amazing how just one shorted diode can make a small issue seem so huge. Maybe disconnect your mansion light board and see if it still happens, if not there might be a diode shorts on that board. Other than that maybe check your pop light diodes for a short. Without knowing more about the machine history or current state its difficult - Did this machine just start doing this after running correctly, or was it a project you stripped down?
One thing to realise is all the lights for the pops are controlled in the matrix, so its critical every pop light has its own diode. I found this out after scratch building a TAF, drove me nuts for ages until I realised this.
