We had been having trouble making the shot to the upper playfield through the garage so we replaced the garage ramp and installed new rubbers. This seemed to fix the issue of making the shot, but now when the first ball enters the couch and locks the display shows that it is the second ball locked. I don't recall this happening before and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue. Is there a setting that I need to change? Did we mess something up when we removed the upper playfield? The game seems to be working properly otherwise.

Does it do it every game? One of the awards you can get is a locked ball. This will look exactly like you are describing.

We didn't play very long tonight, but it happened two games in a row. If I remember correctly in the first game one of the tv modes was running, but I’m not sure about the second game.

Check the switch diagnostics. Take the glass off and start a game, use a ball and test the shots necessary to lock it.

So if you take the glass off and go into switch test mode, when you depress each switch on the couch with your finger, are the numbers the diagnostics show right per switch for the order they're in?

Switches seem to be operating correctly during the test and when I start a game a roll a ball up the ramp it is showing the correct number of locks. It must have get been the award, but it seemed odd to happen two games in a row. I tried playing a few games, but now the ball is getting stuck on the garage ramp.

Yeah, it sounds like you just coincidentally got a virtual lock award both times, so dropping that first ball on the couch was actually the second locked ball.
