Quoted from Navystan:So, if I hear the mech, then it's the screw on the latch. If the screw is not tight enough, I assume I could move the right door with my hand, right? I say this because with the game off, I cannot move either the left or right door. Wouldn't that indicate the door is either binding or the motor is dead like LTG said?
Thanks.
No because there is a latch to hold them closed when the ball is bashing them and registering hits, that latch is pulled down by a small coil and then the doors can open / close via the motor. You need to pull the castle PF, it's not as bad as it looks, just be sure to re-attach all connectors and be careful about re-routing all the wires back down when you re-install it.
