Quoted from abrnpilot:I replaced the upper left flipper on my TAF with an entire new assembly and I wired the coil just like the coil I took off. When I pressed the left flipper button I blew a bunch of fuses and who knows what else. When I looked closely at the assembly that I took off I realized that someone had wired the coil backwards in the bracket (wire terminals where the plunger hits). The assembly I put on has the coil facing the proper direction, so in essence, I wired the new coil backwards. Now I have no power to any of my coils. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Whenever I am replacing a flipper coil in a WPC machine, I carefully tag each wire before I desolder or cut them off:
END BAND, MID BAND, NO BAND (BAND = Banded end of diode)
That way, it doesn't matter how the coil was oriented previously, you will always get the wires back on the right lugs.
