Noticed on the WoZ I just picked up that the spotlight on the Castle mini-playfield was not working. Switched bulbs, still not working. Checked the pins on the LED bulbs and oddly it started working (the pins didn't look out of alignment). But then it stopped again. So I traced the connector, I think it's a black - blue/green set of wires and found the plug under the playfield and tested the voltage, zero. I tried on a few of the light tests in the menu just to make sure it was supposed to be on.

Odd that it worked once and I would assume this single bulb isn't fused individually (heck, don't even know where any fuses are in this game). So what could be causing this one lamp not to work? I did test another connector (There is an unused purple connector just hanging there in the middle of the playfield and I got 4.3v).

Loose connection somewhere.

A just checking post but a reminder this is a 12v spot lamp. A standard bulb will only work a few minutes as you mention 4.3v?

That was a different set of wires, just to make sure my meter was working. Now that the spot is working it's 12v, so must have been a lose connection somewhere.

More then likely glad you fixed it. Here is a picture of that lamps wire connection if it helps.
