Does the fuse blow if you remove the connectors going to the load?
If it blows without the lights connected, your problem is in the driver board. Transistor bad.
If it doesn’t blow, you have something shorted under the PF that needs to be found.
Honestly, the transistor on the driver board is an easier fix to find
Power off, disconnect connectors J105 and J106 on the driver board, then replace fuse and power up. If the fuse blows, you have an issue on the driver board. Not likely, but possible.
If the fuse doesn't blow, power off and reinstall J105, then power up again. If the fuse blows, you have an issue with the backbox lights. If it didn't blow, power off and reinstall J106, then power up. If it blows now, your issue is on the playfield, which is likely. Report back here what you find.

The fuse blew when i reinstalled J106 so the issue must be on the playfield.
