Quoted from Kharris:While at rest if I put my finger on the flipper and push the button nothing will happen.
Could the coil be wired backwards? Energizing the high resistance windings first?

Quoted from Kharris:If it was wired backwards wouldn’t that blow a fuse?
Blow a fuse or it wouldn't work. But I'm not saying the polarity is backwards. I'm thinking perhaps you've wired to the wrong set of windings.
There are two separate windings in the flipper coil. One is the "flip" winding with low resistance. The other is the "hold" winding with higher resistance. You may have the wiring backwards to the two windings. I have seen two identical coils where the windings terminated to the terminals in opposite positions. Always a good idea to check the resistance before wiring up. If you have an ohms meter verify you have it wired correctly. Don't rely on a visual check, or assume two identical looking coils (even same part number), terminate the same.
