First timer so hang with me.

My left magnet fried itself but fortunately I caught it before it really burned up the field at all. I got a new magnet but the fuse is still blowing immediately. I don't know if it is something simple but I have been reading boards on the issue and feel like I get lost on the troubleshooting check this board and this resistor. Any chance someone could just through a few photos at me of what to test. Also may be completely separate but the jet bummer on that same side had an issue so I swapped out the contacts there. I am now thinking I may have somehow switched a wire and that caused the issue but may be over thinking it. Based on the wire diagram I think it is right but if anyone has good high res photos of the wiring there that would be awesome as well. Thanks and apologies if this is hard to follow.

The coil is turned on/off by a transistor. The coil likely fried BECAUSE the transistor driving it shorted. Coils rarely "go bad" by themselves. The transistor will be shorted for certain.

This repair requires electronic knowledge to locate the offending part and solder in a new one without damaging the printed circuit board.

Seems like you should call someone to fix it for you and observe what they do so you can learn. Pinball repair takes a lot of time and learning.

Quoted from Bberndt:

Please get help. Your game is worth too much to experiment on.

Magnets have transistors ( 3 ) mounted on a board under the playfield.

Jet bummer ( bumper ) swapped out contacts wouldn't have anything to do with blowing fuses unless you really got creative, which isn't likely.
