Hi all,

so I've been working on fixing up a Faces and the playfield is blowing fuses. The machine is actually playable, just trying to find this last issue. When I unhook the playfield, the coin door lights work and fuse doesn't blow so I know it's somewhere on the playfield.

My question is, are there tips or tricks to find where the short is coming from rather than just inspect every light?
Would removing all the bulbs and reinstall them 1 by 1 work or there's a faster way of doing it?

Thanks!
