Hey Lloyd. The left sling on my TZ died Thanksgiving night. Run test at boot up and nothing shows as wrong. Go into switch test neither switch registers. Coil fires in test and when I manually activate it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Just an FYI, I'm color blind so if I need to trace a wire or use a volt meter it's helpful to have a # or physical location to go along with it.
Thanks,

Hello Robby
If you don't have a manual, you can get one here : http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl
The switch matrix will help you to go from switch to switch. I would look at both sets of switches on the slingshots, both sides first. You could have a broken wire killing them all. Concentrate on the main ones with the diode, the ones without a diode are just along for the ride.
If nothing obvious, then look at the switch matrix and row and column and check the next switch for a broken wire, or if any other switches aren't working.
A little digging and you should be able to sort it out.
