Well, in getaway, to activate multiball you have to shoot 3 green targets. Then the ball lock lights go on and the ramp to the ball lock lowers. But my problem is that when I start a game, as soon as I press the ball launch lever, the green lights all light up ,the ramp lowers and I can lock balls. Without having to hit a single target. And when multiball is over, then green lights stay on, and i can start locking balls again. The switch test dont show anything, and the ball lock switches seem to be ok.

I don't have a Getaway but maybe it is a difficulty setting on the menu.
Not sure but it might be. -Mike

Go into switch edge test and test each switch to see if they are
registering. You may have one or more switches (not just the green ones)
that may not register or register the wrong switch. Check for broken
wiring, shorted wiring, missing diodes, etc.

There may be a software setting in the game's adjustments to make
accomplishing multiball easier or harder (Multiball Easy/Hard, etc.) I've
seen a lot of games with settings like this- Bally "Atlantis" comes to mind-
same rules for multiball as Getaway.

Check your game's settings/adjustments or do a factory reset and either
should produce a solution.

Good luck!
