Title: Cav 72 -Are my lights reversed?

Should the "use exact change" light be the one always lit and the "have a coke" be the one that lights up once coins are deposited?

I'm thinking so...........just switch light wires?  Note I didn't wire it this way.

Your right, they are backwards. You can swap wires or move the sockets to the correct place.

Isn't the change light on when the coin changer tubes are empty? The coke light comes on when the money has been deposited and ready to vend product?

The change light on mine is on all the time because it doesn't have a change giver mech. If it is a change giver filling the change tubes should turn the light off.

Yep, switched the lights and filled up the tubes with nickels. Change light turned off. Used three dimes and change was dispensed, nice. Time to make a new video!
Thank you guys!

My old machine with no change in mechanism.

 Light comes on when correct change is inserted. 
 Opens stack solenoid.
 When bottle is pulled out light goes off.
