Williams Indiana Jones FLASHER Problem (not working)

Hey guys.....I have a problem with the Flashers on my Williams IJ.
First it was blowing Fuse F111 so I replaced BR4 (bridge diode). Now it is not blowing the fuse but all of the flashers still do not work. I tested voltage with my multimeter and I do not get any voltage on the J102 connector. This connector states 16VAC from transformer secondary. I tested the volts on these wires at the connector by the transformer and get nothing.

Also tested the red wire at each flasher...nothing.

Do I have a transformer problem or is this "secondary" wire loop missing something that will complete the circuit?

Could a new "bad" BR4 create these results?

What should I test next?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Does anyone have a link to a complete wiring diagram for this gams?
Thanks

OK, Here is some more date....

LED#5 is not lit.
I obtained another WPC89 driver board (working) and swapped it in....same condition. No voltage at J102 and no LED#5.

So the problem is not on the board. Since it is a common voltage issue to all Flashers anyone have a place to start looking?

Thanks

They are working....finally figured it out. The coin door has to be closed for them to work.

This got me because I have another IJ and the coin door does not have to be closed for the Flashers to be tested...not sure why they designed it on some where the door has to be shut.

Oh well...feel stupid and relieved.

Thanks to all.

You should be able to pull the switch out and it will stay so the interlock will allow high power with the door open. Some games had a clip you could install.

Naw, don't feel stupid, you learned something and that's what really matters. Glad you got this figured out (without spending a ton of money)

I agree, I still wonder for a few seconds at times why something is not working before I realize it is high power. I hate the noise the machine makes when the high power is disabled when opening the door but it helps me remember at times.
