• Jungle Lord Kickers issue

    From Paul@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 5 22:22:00 2022
    So working on a Jungle Lord, everything except the slings and top right
    kicker work. Solenoids work in test, switches do not to activate them.

    I am a little confused on how these work. Manual says switches 17, 18
    and 19 are dedicated switches with a hot wire and goes to ground. I see
    a black wire that runs to all 3, but really not sure where it ends up. I
    looked over the schematics and it doesn't really show where it
    terminates. Any ground I can find coming off the board?

    Really do not want to start pulling wires out of the loom to trace it
    all the way back.

    Was curious if anyone knows where it terminates.

    I don't know where it terminates, but I suspect the issue is with IC6 or
    IC7 on the driver board.

    You should see a voltage change from +5V to 0V on a J13 pin when the
    sling or kicker switch are closed. The manual on IPDB isn't clear as to
    which switch is connected to which pin. That voltage change can be
    traced to an IC6/7 input pin which should cause a transition on the
    related IC output pin.

    If one of the special/switched solenoids is working you could measure
    voltages on that one to see how it should be working.
