The F703 fuse keeps blowing on my WOZ. It seems to blow while trying to get rescue multiball. It seems like maybe something is setting it off while hitting the doors. Any suggestions on where to start? I'll upload a pic of the crystal ball shortly but clearly isn't correct.

Page D-170 in the manual. Check what is all on F703's fuse stream.

You can download the manual from jerseyjackpinball.com - Support - Downloads - Wizard Of Oz.

Crystal ball isn't involved with this, separate issue. Reseat connectors to it and to motherboard, reseat SD card behind it.

LTG : )

Here are the pictures from the crystal ball. I've resat all connections and sd to it.

Also when the fuse blows, the castle doors are pointed inward slightly. They aren't fully open or closed.

According to the manual, the coils you want to check are:
Winkie Guard retract
Castle Doors saucer
Castle doors latch
House wall drop (for witch's feet)
Castle doors, left and right
Knocker

Stick a meter on them and check resistance. Sounds like you have a shorted coil.

If you don't have a meter, you can just unplug them (noting what wires go where so you can put them back correctly) one at a time and try it until you find the one that doesn't make the fuse blow when it's unplugged.

What should the resistance be?

Most coils I’ve seen are in the 4 ohm to 10 ohm range.

0 ohm coils are great space heaters until the fuse blows.

Depends on the coil size.
