Quoted from Chochi_ca:So I found q2 transistor on the PPB Board to b bad(pre drive transistor Iām guessing?). I swapped out the transistor with the knocker transistor on the PPB Board that tested good. Upon power up the coil is still energized. I rechecked the q2 transistor and it blew(shorted btw legs)
any diodes on that coil?if yes then it is possible one of the diodes is bad and blowing out that transistor.
the coil,the diodes on that coil(if any are there.) the pre drive transistor-small one,the main transistor-big one.all these would need to be tested at the same time,so you wont be doing/replacing them over and over again.
