    The special solenoids (flippers, slings, knocker, pop bumper) do not blow the fuse, but it seems that when any other solenoid is fired this fuse blows. The fuse is 2.5amp slow blow. I've visually inspected the solenoids and no wires seem to be touching anything they shouldn't. No solenoids are locked on. Tested the 2 bridge rectifiers that are next to this fuse and they are good.

    Where should I start? Thanks

    Pop bumper and knocker don’t seem to blow the fuse either.

    Is this possibly a Snubber relay board issue? I think that it's the solenoids listed with an asterisk that are blowing the fuse. Any advice on what to look at or check, please??

    Thanks for your help!
    Could you explain a bit about how to do this:

    Quoted from goingincirclez:

    Check to see if both the A and C sides are firing simultaneously.
