I got a "2 button style" big choice where as soon as you coin up the machine, it only lets you move right.

What I did notice is that as soon as you coin up, it actually moves the carriage forward like 1/2 inch, then allows you to hit the "right" button. My initial deduction would be bad switch, but I tested and replaced the button switch anyways with a tested new. I also tried moving the connection on the button just to see what what would happen. If I remove the wire from the button, coin up will make the carriage immediately start moving back.

I pulled the board and tested diodes, from what I tested, everything is good on that as well. I reflowed all the solid state relays including the big ice cube with no change. I also reflowed the small headers on all the connections. I am starting to get to the point where I am convinced it is an issue with one of the 4 ice cube relays in a row since it seems that 2 control the front to back movement and 2 control the left to right.

Has anyone else seen this? Any ways to address fixing this or diagnosing it better?
 
Switch the delays around see if anything changes. Relays are the same, 24 volt.
