The problem started with the left kickout only working one time and stopping. I then noticed that if you advance the bonus at all it will work one more time. Traced this to a likely issue with the stepper motor not finding 'home' and that seemed correct. Once you cashed out a bonus it reset to a position with no contacts. Tried to take apart the disc and align and now things are really bad.

1. The left kickout no longer works at all. If you put a ball in there the relay will click, score reel tallies, then the relay keeps trying to activate but no kickout ever happens.
2. The right kickout works both kickouts at the same time. The right advance bonus sling advances both bonuses (noticed the advance bonus before starting any 'work' but I believe the kickouts in tandem is new)
3. The upper slings no longer switch which side 'arrow' arrow is lit

No wires appear loose. I'm lost as to where to start. I'm not electrically trained so schematics aren't helping me trace an issue I don't know where to begin at with. Stepper motor now seems to be adjusted correctly and advance correctly.

Pictures included are of the stepper after me taking it off to set zero, the left kickout switch, and the left relays.

Edit: Crash course in wiring diagrams shows a red white wire going through what seems to be all the problem areas (left advance, both outholes, left stepper, two related relays), but I've traced this wire to no obvious issue. The left bonus relay used to fire off, but is no longer even trying. It seemed to go from working, to clicking repeatedly and not firing with a ball in the outhole, to not firing.

Thank you all.

The upper right wiper in relation to the photo is clearly not making solid contact. Putting my finger on it and hitting the the plunger on the left kick out will now trigger both kickouts firing. Depending on where I make contact it will fire multiple times or indefinitely. This isn't consistent. The other stepper and bonus reel I can't duplicate this behavior. I'm trying not to go off on my own here since the potential to make this worse seems high. Am I looking at cleaning contacts or 'bending' the wiper to make better contact?

4th issue I didn't state in original post. The right lower advance bonus sling advances both the right and left bonus track one step. The left sling only advances the left. Unknown at what point this was an issue.

Update on one fix: Cleaned and adjusted left wiper assembly and now left kickout works as designed.

The right advance bonus still makes the left bonus go up as well as the right. No switches appear to be making contact all of the time. Adjusted further apart regardless and still persists.

The alternating arrow does not operate. Seems to randomly switch if another player is up after a drain but the arrow does not switch by the slings. The slings register hits, change the top lit insert, and appear adjusted correctly to 'open'

If I press on the contact for the relay it switches. According to the diagrams normally open makes it go left, normally closed makes it go right.

I'm stuck here.

Top picture is alternating relay and bottom is change relay.
