On my whirlwind my left flipper recently stopped working and I can't figure out why. No issues with other solenoids or the right flipper. The flippers were rebuilt 6-8 months ago.

Here is what I have done so far.
-I tested the cabinet switch in the switch edge test and that is working.
-checked fuses on the Aux driver board and those are good. I believe it's F5 or F6(both tested fine)
-getting 24v power to each of the 3 lugs on the coil.
What else should I be testing here as I am a little stumped as to what to check next?
Thanks guys.

If you manually raise the flipper then press and hold the flipper button does the batt stay raised (only holding button not flipper batt of course)?

Yes if I manually hold the flipper up then hit the button it stays up.

Check your EOS switch. Make sure it is adjusted properly and the contacts are good. Had an issue with a left flipper once and when i opened the switch one of the contacts fell off. Have a look at the wiring between the coil terminals and the EOS switch too while you are in there.

If you are only getting 24 volts on the coil lugs you need to look at this as it should be @ 68volts.

Turned out I needed to file the EOS as the connection wasn't that good.

Works perfectly now. Thanks for the help @mgraves
