Elvira hoh haunt problem

[Chaggers]

My elvira has just started lighting a haunt up soon as machine is switched on
I'm wondering if anybody has had this problem with theirs
This happens without even plunging a ball
My hunch is something to do with an actuator/opto
Was hoping that house would not have to be taken off and if so any exp with this action

see similar issue on pinside and was an opto issue.

Sorry cant remember exact page but solution is buried in the official Elvira HOH thread on there.

House is easy to take off

Probably the hall switch in the backdoor

It must be due to a switch being stuck on or being triggered, go into switch test - see if anything is stuck on, cause some vibration around the playfield & see if this triggers anything.
When you press start, look at the screen - is it awarding you a back door shot? (As that starts a haunt) Also when you press start look at what score it is giving you as that too can be a clue as to what switch is being triggered.
Do a video & upload it - that always helps.

I've done an active switch test but not sure what I'm looking at nothing major popping up
I've done a quick video and it's gave me 50030 score before hitting a ball and haunt active

Just popped up house lock malfunction

And a switch from inside house seems to be stuck and trying constantly to unlock itself if that makes sense

Is the back door constantly going up and down?

I had to bend the switch a bit behind the house do it could find “home”

No I've sorted it cheers
After some help on pinside it was The opto sensor behind subway
I cleaned it and religned
Seemed to do trick
