reassembled Spy Hunter cp, now half the buttons don't work
Today was going to be the day I wrapped up the SH resto, but no such luck.
Today I reassembled the cp. Same yoke, pot, gears, buttons, microswitches, etc. All I swapped was the cp itself and gear shift. I didn't replace, recrimp, or re-house any wiring in the harness. It was working perfectly for 2+ years before I disassembled it for resto.
After re-installation, half the switches don't work.
Work:
weapons van/start button
pedal (accelerator)
steering (but calibration is off)
coin mech switches
credit switch inside coin door
Not working:
neither trigger switches (machine guns/missiles)
neither thumb button (smoke screen/oil slick)
test switch inside coin door
I took apart the grips and I have continuity from all switches and buttons to the molex housing. I must be missing something obvious, it seems unlikely that 4-6 switches would all fail.
I've heard that if the pcb is unplugged for the amount of time I did (2+ months), I need to replace the battery on the power board, but would that affect switches??
Thanks for any input....
