Zacaj, so can the capacitor figure into the capacitor on the switch be part of my issue? Or is this unrelated?

Quoted from BlakeBowden:Zacaj, so can the capacitor figure into the capacitor on the switch be part of my issue? Or is this unrelated?
At worst, the capacitor could blow and short itself internally, but then it'd just be like the eos was always closed. Your flipper would still work, but your coil would melt after a while. It should be safe to disconnect it while testing.

Put in new coil. Wired it in. Flipper not working but fuse not blowing. Getting odd readings. Not sure if I’m using MM correctly.
With it wired in. I’m gettin .7 ohms between lug 2 and 3. 1.1 without wires. Readings between other lugs is around 200. The fact that I’m not changing settings on MM and getting one reasonable reading makes me think I’m doing it right.
I’ve included the pic of the reading I’m getting from the incoming power. Do I have MM set right?
I’m not getting the immediate blown fuse but there is still something preventing flipper from working.
Appreciate any assistance. Thanks
Thanks. Voltage was 76 once I set MM to voltage. Red lead power going into flipper. Black lead to ground bar. That’s more what I expected.
So I’m getting a reasonable ohms reading between lug 2 and 3. 0.7. Why would it be reading 200 between the other lugs? Do I have a bad coil? It’s brand new.
Thanks
The hold winding should be that high, that's normal. 0.7 actually seems a bit low by comparison. For that flipper it should be around 3-4 ohms. Unless the EOS was closed then, in which case you're measuring the EOS, not the coil. Need to hold open EOS to get a good reading.
Removed eos wires. 3.7 ohms between lug 2 and 3. Assuming I’m measuring it right. Getting continuity.
Getting 200 ohms between other lugs. No continuity.
Does this suggest flipper is good? If so, what is likely the cause of flipper not working?
Thanks

That sounds good, coil seems fine
