Been doing a cabinet overhaul and decal install on a TFtC. Playfield obviously removed for the project. Game played fine prior. Reinstalled playfield and fired it up. I have no controlled lamps (inserts, Etc.) and its blowing the 8A slo blo fuse (blue white) wires above the bridge rectifier. I don't visably find a short. I replaced both bridge rectifiers last night, but the problem continues. These two boards are installed. If I try a 5A circuit breaker on the bridge fuse it pops right off. If I try a 20A circuit breaker, fuse F4 on the Rottendog will blow. Any other directions to troubleshoot?

Quoted from RYSR:

IF your blowing the fuse immediately, you must have a dead short to ground on that circuit. With the machine off use an ohm meter to check for 0 or very low ohms reading. Look at the schematic for what header connectors use that circuit disconnect them and get a reading on the headers to ground. you will have to follow the problem wire down the playfield and cut/de-solder it at points to narrow it down. Best to look carefully along the way first. Perhaps something conductive fell onto the playfield? Perhaps when you supported the playfield along the way you made something touch that shouldn't..

So I may be making some headway. I did get a dedicated 8A circuit breaker to test with on the fuse location for the bridge rectifier. I have replaced both bridge rectifiers at this point. On the CPU, I have turned the machine on with connectors CN6 & CN7 removed (lamps drive and lamps return), and it still trips the 8A breaker. If I remove connector CN4 which has the blue and white lead going to it, it does not trip the breaker. As soon as I plug in CN4, even with CN6 & CN7 removed, the circuit breaker trips. I dont believe the issue is with something on the playfield since CN6 & CN7 are removed and it still trips. Just not sure what to troubleshoot at this point.

I am totally incorrect on my assumption. I have narrowed down to the blue and white single wire. And tracked down some sort of short in the coin door wiring. Stopping right now. I'll delve into it further.

Disconnected the Spain coin door coin mech and everything works now. Lots of troubleshooting but finally found.
