Turned on my F14 for the first time in a few weeks. It bangs and sounds locked up. Un plug pull batt. turn back on says adjustment needed. Starts game, shoot ball into right center eject and doesnt kick out. Acts like ball drained(asthough it saw the outhole switch instead of right center eject) sending 2 ball into shooter lane. Does the same thing with ball 2 in left center eject. Switch level test appears accurate.

I just went through the entire switch matrix with a jumper and cpu tested good. So is the problem on the playfield?

I started a game and removed the ball. When the machine does a ball search it is firing the relays but not the coils of the rt. eject, left center eject, rt. center eject, ball popper. All in the same column on the switch matrix table .

I finally found it. It was a 2.5 amp fuse I missed. I thought I checked them all before I started diagnosing anything else. When I was'nt getting all the coils to fire during the diag. test, I figured that it was a power issue and went over the fuses again. It is one that sits alone attached to the backbox.
Thanks for all replies. Happy holidays.
