I did a playfield swap on my Taxi and upon my first boot up I realized I made a mistake. I mounted the solenoid under the apron with the lugs facing up and created a short. I checked all the fuses and all are good but I still dont have the the outhole kicker, as well as a few other and most flashers. Looking at the manual I am going to guess I fried Q33, and a few others.

All my pop bumpers work, both 3 bank, catapult, spinout kickout, bell, knocker, and slings. 2 Flashers work, I can list it is helps but can't remember which specifically off the top of my head.

Any additional direction or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Todd

Would it have stopped there? Or do I need to test further? Also, I what is the easiest way to test? I have tried a couple methods I learned online in the past but never seem to get conclusive results.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

Did you look under the play field for a fuse with a brown wire connected to it?

I will check. I missed that one. Thanks!

I do not see any fuses or recall moving any fuses over. Only fuse under the PF is in the power box coming from the outlet.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

Just looked at the manual and it's f2a on the aux power supply.

I will take a look. I checked all the fuses for continuity and all were good but I will double check that one specifically.

Looking good but still need to figure out coils and flashers.

Voltage at outhole kicker, but still won’t fire.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

Put the game in coil test and lock it on the outhole coil. Then take a jumper with one end connected to ground. Briefly touch the other end to the metal tab of the correct TIP for the outhole coil. Does it fire now?

No. It doesn’t fire.

When I boot the game, the spin out kicker and catapult fire though.

Would this cause it?

Also. The coils on the brown wire chain are only measuring around 9-10V.

#16 4 years ago

I get the same 9-10v both sides and at the pin.

To note I also don’t have any voltage at F2C

#19 4 years ago

Not sure what you mean by F-2, or W-6

#20 4 years ago

Found it. It measures 40V on right and 10V on left.

Thanks Grumpy! It ended up being W6 on the power board. It is 0ohm resistor but guess it went bad when I shorted. Replaced with a jumper wire, now good!

Thanks! @grumpy
