Deadpool Spike 2 Switch

Trace the wires from the switch to its node board, try reseating the connector and give it a good look.
I had a similar non-working switch problem on Deadpool. Turned out to be the pin in the connector onto the node board - it was squashed so had to replace the pin in the connector. Had the same thing on a lamp too.

If you need a hand let me know, up the road in CrowthorneCheers mate.
Keith has just got me checking through the obvious stuff first.
When the soldering iron comes out we know it's getting serious

no diode on the switches IIRC. It's stuck closed so remove the centre wire and see if it clears, If it does then the switch may be fauklty (or it's gapped closed and needs the actuator arm adjusting). If it doesn't clear then you've a bigger problem possibly on the node board.
The quickest/easiest thing to do first is stick a multimeter on continuity mode across the legs of the switch to see if it is working
Nice easy fix
start with the simple stuff, KISS people!
Nice easy fix
It really was mate and I suspect it's been intermittently happening for quite some time.
As with most pinball faults, a simple fix. All part of learning about your machine.
Always a relief when everything is good again.
Ahhhh ok, now I understand how you've made it on to the leaderboard!
