Question on "Ride Again " light.
When should this light be on and what does it indicate?
Mine seems to come on a lot.

Quoted from Sciddleybop1980:It’s the extra ball light. Comes on when.......you earn an extra ball
Hmmm, that's what I figured.
So I've got an issue then. Time to start troubleshooting.
Thanks
Quoted from Sciddleybop1980:Check closely and see if any other lamps are coming on when they shouldn’t.
It’s possible one of the lamps in the row has a bad diode or maybe even the lamp holder is incorrectly wiired (had it recently myself on wh20 and caused a whole host of lamp issues)
You can help eliminate batches of possible culprits by unplugging any large lamp pcbs under the pf. If the problem disappears whilst one of the pcb’s is unplugged, you have narrowed it down to a few.
Either that or you happen to earn a shed load of extra balls!!!!
Cool, thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately no extra balls are being awarded.
My tilt is super sensitive though! Found that out on my best ball to date.

Quoted from sawbill:I just installed a Hardtop, and it plays fast and super smooth. I highly recommend it to anyone with a lost cause playfield; or anyone who wants a perfect playing Taxi. Kudos to Outside Edge!
Looks fantastic!

Quoted from desertT1:My ringer/bell hasn't worked since I got the game. Is there something specific I should be looking for? I'll take it apart once this tournament I'm hosting is over, but from the last time I was in there a visual inspection didn't show anything obvious like a broken wire or hammer fallen off the coil.
I turned mine on through the settings. Turned it off pretty quickly for normal home use but would use it for a party.
Quoted from TicTacSeth:Aaaaand fixed! Took me awhile to find the break in the coil wire. Had to pull it out to find it. Glad it was once again an easy fix, that taught me something new!
Learning is so under rated. Glad you found success and acquired a new skill!

I'd start by replacing the incandescent lights. If the problems disappear you have the culprit.
Power drain, or lack thereof, caused by the leds perhaps?
Quoted from kvolak:I pulled the LED's when it malfunctioned, no change. The sound has magically corrected itself overnight though.
So it's still just bottom pop bumper, lights under right slingshot, and apparently the coin door lights. I'm stumped.
Hmmm.
Have you checked the switch matrix? Maybe there is a common denominator.
