What would cause the solenoid fuse to blow every few games on a sorcerer . It will boot and work for sometimes a bunch of games and sometimes only a few, and then the solenoid fuse blows. Does that sound like a pf issue ? My plan is to get a breaker and see if I can activate a coil that causes it to blow.

Would a bad diode sometime function properly and then other times blow the fuse ?

It’s the correct fuse rating

I don’t believe a terminaL is shorter

So it quickly changed that as soon as a game is started the fuse blows. I unplugged the two connectors for solenoids and it still blew on game startup. Then I unplugged special solenoid connector and it didn’t blow. I ran test mode and all the non special solenoids fire with no issue.
It seems then as mentioned by pin retail it has to be the special solenoids. I will go there next
Thanks

It is never happens with just power on.
It happens at the start of a game, or in test mode. But with the special sol connector off it does not. It seems to have gotten progressively worse. Meaning I could play 20 games before it would happen.
Now it’s every game. I will check all
The special sol switches next

Thanks to all

I assumed it to be the pops. But after checking switches the rt sling has a broken cap.
Will start with this

Shoot wishful thinking ..Thanks then I will need to keep looking….

Found it. Somehow one of the pop trigger switches had bent into closed position.
Easy fix once I was able to locate it.
Thank you all for the help
