TECH: TAF UL flipper only works during Thing Flips

[Joe]

The problem I am having is that the upper left flipper only works during Thing Flips.
While playing the game, only the lower flipper is activated when you press the left flipper button

From the switch test, I get the following regardless if I am holding the left flipper button or not:

F7 UL flipper EOS - always open
F8 UL flipper button - always open


What is the typical way to determine if this is a wiring problem versus a bad flipper controller board?

[Lloyd Olson]

Go into switch edge test. Push flipper button in slowly and see if both sets
of points register. Then in switch edge test move upper left flipper up and
back and see if EOS registers.

It isn't a board issue. Both of these sets of points have a black wire (
orange on EOS ) common to them.

Get a meter, learn to check continuity of a wire, then move onto your game.
Check each wire from fliptronics board to the switch in error. some of the
EOS points have two wires to one lug, you likely have a break killing
things.
