Yes, that is what I have been thinking but I can't figure out how to test. I thought about putting some color on the pins to see if they do not make contact but that seems a bit risky. Thanks for the input.

It continues to be very random whether the fix is set or not. One thing I have not mentioned is that the ready light is almost always on. Sometimes it goes off after a shot but most of the time is either stays on or is on again immediately. That does not mean that the flash is ready to fire. Just to be sure I put my old Af 360FGZ on the camera and it fires with complete reliability as long as the ready light is lit which occurs quickly after each shot.
