The moon magnet just stopped working. The issue is the fuse connected to it. I changed it and it blew again. All the wires seem ok, and I get continuity from the fuse to the return connection.

I took the moon apart and found three connections. Two wires come from the playfield and a third that comes from within the magnet. I tested the resistance and found that it was 4.3 ohms, 4.3 ohms,. and almost 0 ohms between the connections. As you look at the picture, the wire at 3 oclock reads 4.3 to the other leads and is not connected to the fuse. The wire at 6 oclock is connected to the fuse, and the wire at 9 oclock goes into the magnet. I get zero ohms between 6 and 9 oclock.
