Just read this thread now....good job Matt.
I have found this fuse blown several times on pins. Its funny how people expect the worst and start checking switches, wiring etc before checking the most basic things like fuses first.
Look for the common fault.......if more than one coil is affected, it has to be a common issue in this case the secondary fuse. Good job mate,part of the learning experience.

Two really good trouble-shooting tips there:

1) start with the easiest answer first (eg it is easier to check for and fix a loose wire than fix a faulty switch or coil, so check the wire first);
2) if the symptoms cover a number of areas, look for a common cause first.

Thanks, Dave.
