Alright guys. Still learning on fixing pins but was playing Bram Stokers Dracula today and my bottom bumper stopped working so I assumed something is wrong with the solenoid. So I went into the test menu and tested all my solenoids on the game and sure enough the bottom bumpers solenoid is not working properly. What do I need to do to fix this? Probably an easy fix but like I said im new to fixing pinballs. Your help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

If that is the only coil not working, as jalpert suggested check for broken wire at the coil.

If nothing obvious, with power off dig around the tiny wires coming off the coil to the lugs, easy for them to break and hard to detect unless you get in there.

Past that then check continuity of wiring from coil back to power driver board, you could have a break elsewhere.

LTG :)
