Someone has changed some wiring under the play field and not in a good way.
Take some good pics under the magnet and the flipper.

Quoted from antics:

Okay here are some photos of the magnet and the flipper. I honestly don't see anything unusual about the wiring.

Everything is wired correctly. How about a pic of the EOS area of the right flipper.

Quoted from Eightball88:

I played a Dr Dude yesterday and it was doing the same thing.... is it possible that this is a feature and not a bug?

No.

Quoted from barakandl:

but I don't think it was much more than a shorted coil and i had to patch a vaporized trace because of over fusing.

Could this been on the inner connect board?

You should not have a diode on the coil, it is located on the Aux power supply. You should remove the diode on the coil and test the diode on the aux power supply. Is there any chance the brown/green wire is touching the EOS switch?

Quoted from antics:

I think it's D36 for the magnet if I understand the schematic correctly.

This is the magnetic flashers.

For the magnet it would be D-15. But I don't think this would be the problem. If I were you I would remove the inner connect board. I would inspect all of the connectors when you pull them off. Then look over the back of the board for trace damage. Post a pic of the board.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the inner connect board.
