Sorry to see you had so much trouble with this stage.I have not done mine yet as I ordered a new lower battle section as one of the phaser strips cut outs were really rough but I see yours look the same as mine ! Everybody seems to be having problems with this stage .I originally had problems with the battery box which I fixed so I am hoping the lights will work ok as I will not be happy if they don’t.Other people have said the routing of the switch is wrong in the instructions so maybe that’s the problem.
I did move the switch wires to go under the frame but it was still the same. I’ve given up following the wiring routes, some were always a little strange and they were often hard to make out where they said to go anyway! I hope you have a better time of it than I did when you get to put it together!
It isn’t perfect by any means, but overall I am very happy with it. The size, weight and general construction are all great. Some things I can tidy and fix, others don’t bother me.
Pretty much given up on it now. Far too much effort to get back into it and possibly not be able to do anything. I may come back when I can see better again!
The electronics design for this model is just so bad. It's like they decided to add lights after the model was done, and given to another team entirely who had no input in how the model went together.

@@GrossModels considering what we pay for this it’s not a very good model, so many faults and the quality control is very poor.

Just finished stage 104, absolute nightmare getting it together , such a bad design. Luckily all the lights work after one failed attempt 😃
@tonysandell5445 closing it up is usually the hardest part. Glad you managed it!
Hopefully you can fix the issue its a shame

I think it’s more that they had to design it to be available in parts. So small batches of lights rather than one decent arrangement.
