Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the wonderful world of Pinball and could use some help resolving an issue. When the game is powered on it blows fuses: F11 and F16.

Any guidance/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you Mike. I disconnected the two solenoids and the fuses still blow. Replaced the two solenoids and the fuses still blow.

I'm far from savvy regarding Pinball repair.

Thanks.

Any thoughts as to what the cause could be?

Thanks

I pulled it up online last night. Reseated all the board connectors. Didn't notice anything burned.

Quoted from Enchanter:

The only thing between each of those fuses and its solenoid should be the wire connecting them. If the fuse blows with the wire disconnected from the solenoid, then there must be a short in the wire.

I'll check the wiring this evening.

Thanks

Quoted from frunch:

You are using *slow-blow* fuses, right? They may say MDL on either of the caps. Make sure their voltage rating (also on cap) is 250v, as well. Do you have a multimeter? You're probably going to need one to diagnose this.

I'm using the correct slow-blow fuses. Yes, I have a multimeter.

Thanks.
