Look for a short somewhere,

maybe 2 switches are resting against the same bolt, also check loose wires..

Cheers.

You usre it's the IPAC? More than likely, it's an attached switch. Try unplugging the related switch for a while and still see if you have your problem. If not, then you know where the problem is.

I'm becoming dyslexic, I think.  I would have sworn that said "player 2 randomly starts fires on ipac", even after I read it three times.

Didn't you have that problem with another thread a little while ago?


try swithcing the microswitches around too. I've seen it before too where its a defective switch.
