Hey Marlin,
Look at the wiring diagram for the game and trace the ground wire back
from the controls to the board. All of the switches on your game have one
common ground wire. The ground wire is the one that goes from switch to
switch on your control panel devices. Make sure it's going where it is
suppose to.
It could be broken in a connector or something. This is VERY common.
Use a meter on contiuity test.
Good Luck!
