Hey Guys,

This is for my Mars God of War. I've looked through this subforum and I went to pinwiki as well, which didn't have the information I wanted.

The bottom right flipper on my Mars God of War does nothing, doesn't move when power is supplied. I can move it when the machine is off and it moves freely without any issues.

Can someone please give me a step by step on things to check or direct me to a site that has a step by step to diagnose and fix this?

Thanks
 
Check the wires going to the flipper first... They do get worn down...

I just had to strip and resolder one on a pin about a month ago due to this.

Worked just fine afterwards
 
Quick coil test...ground the med and high side of the coil. if you get nothing you got a bad coil...if you get a 'flipper' started heading the other way towards the switch..then to the board.

I also believe the left and right flippers have different fuses..check them first
