Having issues with my right flipper, was working fine then it started fluttering, checked wiring and couldn't find anything loose. Then it went into the up positions dn froze there and tripped the 3 amp slo boo fuse I replaced fuse and it did it again. I replaced the solenoid with a new one and it does the same thing. I can disconnect one of the wires from the solenoid and it holds fine (and releases the flipper) but as soon as I attach wire again it will trip the fuse after a few seconds. I have checked several things but cannot figure out my next step. The right button seems to work fine, there is a gap when not pressing button and it allows me to select my character but the flipper stays in the up position. Thanks for any help!
