Hi guys I have a few problems with my new pin (fishtales). The problem i cant figure out is the flashers. They are not working and if i replace the fuse at F111 it blows as soon as i power on the machine. Any one have some ideas on where to start? the other problem is the middle and lower string of lights in the backbox are not working. I feel I have found the problem causing that at J120 plug with a few burned spots and if I wiggle the plug they come on.

Thanks in advance
Alex

I just noticed this: the plug is plugged into J105 but the wires have a flag that says J104. Should I move the plug up to J104?

Quoted from robertmee:

Pull connector J107, replace fuse, power up and see if it blows. If it doesn't then you have a short in the PF, putting ground to the red-white wires leaving J107. If it blows with the connector off, then BR4 is likely bad and needs replacing. You can check BR4 with power off, fuse F111 pulled and J107 pulled, using your diode setting on your meter.

Ok so i put a new fuse in F111, pulled J107, powered the machine on and the fuse in F111 burned up. (I don't have my meter here it's at the garage)

So I take it my next step is to replace BR4? If so would point me to the correct one on Marco's website. I have a shopping cart of parts ready to order for it but I just want to make sure I am getting the correct one.

Is this the correct part for BR4?

Is it good sense to just replace all of the br (1-4) and all 4 caps or is that just overkill?

Quoted from RawleyD:

Remove all your PF flasher connectors from the power driver board, then boot up.

do you know what number the flasher connectors are that I should pull to try to diag?
