Quoted from Johnnys:I did find the violet-orange wire melted to one of the ground brown wires in the circuit so I cut and repaired those but fuse still blows.
Do you have any photos of the issue prior to and after repair? It might be good to see what was there and what is there now.
If the fuse blows without any of the solenoids actually firing then you most likely have a short to ground in the playfield wiring.
Quoted from Johnnys:PS. If I remove j107 and J127 I can power on and everything but coils 9-16 seem to work ok.
This doesn't seem to make sense to me. J107 is solenoid power (for ALL solenoids) and J127 is low current drive (solenoids 9-16). If you remove those plugs then no solenoids should work. Can you clarify?
Quoted from Johnnys:Also, I noticed on power on that the 3 LED D19, D20, D21 seems wrong. I read that 1st D19 should come on for a quick second with d21 and then D19 should go off and D20 should blink. Well D19 never comes on but D20 does blink constantly and D21 remains on ok. Just wanted to mention that as well.
This sounds like D19 on the CPU board is not working.
