so my cloud/backbox flashers haven't worked since i picked this machine up. it didn't take long to find out why once i started poking. see the attached pic. the red/white wire is just hanging there, hooked to nothing.

the flasher under 'The Power' on the playfield is on the same circuit and works just fine.

looking at the manual, i'm a bit confused. it says that all of circuits for solenoids 19-22 (The Power/Backbox Cloud are on solenoid circuit 22) should be on the red wire out of J107, pin 1. so why i have red/white into the cloud flashers, i have no idea. i'm just going to assume that's an oddity and it's really supposed to be connected to the red wire in J107. but, my J107 connector looks like:
pin 1 - Vio/Grn
pin 2 - Vio/Orn
pin 3 - Vio/Yel
pin 4 - nothing
pin 5 - Red
pin 6 - Red/Whi
so red is not in pin 1, but in pin 5. OK, maybe just another oddity - i don't think it really matters which pin is attached to what, since J107 is just the power side, and all the pins are the same voltage. but the red wired just goes straight down to under the playfield, it doesn't look to me like there is anywhere it could be easily connected up to the cloud flashers.

so, i'm not sure where that red/white wire from the cloud flashers should go. anybody with an addams that could have a look and help me out?
