Hi Group,
I have a question on troubleshooting my Getaway. One of the fuses in the circuit that powers the slingshots, return lane kicker, ramp diverter, and ramp up/down, blows after playing a few games. What is the best way to isolate the problem?

Quoted from exflexer:

Put the game in test and continually trigger each of the suspected coils. Personally I would check the resistance on each coil to see if one is shorting out. Also check to make sure the return lane kick or ball launcher isn't shorting to the brackets.

Thank you for your reply, I will do what you suggested and report back on this thread.

I heard it could also be the associated transistor, is there a best way to test that as well? Does the driver board need to be removed for the transistor test?
