All,
My machine was working great, I was doing some simple clean up trying to get my coin door lights to work, the wires going to the coin door were disconnected so I reconnected them. at that time it blew a 6V, 15A fuse. I replaced the fuse all lights lit up, but now the ball kick will not function and all three strikes are lit, it looks as if the solenoid is not getting voltage when I push the reset button which I slightly modified when trying to get the LED lights on the coin door to work. I sense put all wires back to where they were before the mod and I am still having the reset and ball kick issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Page 1 of the Triple Strike manual lists the "Reset Cycle". How far is it getting?

The reset process is working up to kicking out the ball. The ball kick does not seem to be working now. It was working before I messed with the coin door wires, I am baffled.

If the Outhole relay is activating but the Ball Release solenoid isn't, Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

I will look into that. I also noticed the eject on top stays on 5 and the special stays lit. Not sure what may be causing that.

Ok I fixed the eject 5 and special light but I am still having issues with the ball index kicking the ball after a ball drains. Also my strikes are not registering now if I manually hit all 10 buttons. Most everything seems to be working as usual except the strike issue and the ball drain not working. Any ideas what it may be? As I mentioned before the game was working perfectly until I tried to get the coin door lights to work, something shorted it blew the small 6V light fuse. I replaced the fuse put everything back to the way it was before I messed with the door and now I have this issue... Odd for sure. Thanks,

Does the 1 to 10 bank reset coil fire? That would be a common thread between a failure at the end of the reset cycle and the strike completion not working.

Update: I was poking around in my TS tripping random relays, by doing this one of the relays put the machine into a continuous reset mode I let it run in this state for about a minute. I cut the power, plugged it back in and I will be danged it has worked perfectly ever since. The continuous reset must have realigned something that was out, I honestly wish I knew what I did to fix it. Thanks to those who responded!
