Sounds like you're getting closer to the problem.

Might be almost too late now, but do you have access to a circuit breaker to save fuses while testing.
Jaycar sells them for just under $10 but you can get them cheaper online.

Have a selection of these with alligator clips attached.. best thing for sorting out blowing fuse issues ^^^ ^^^

Thanks guys, I have a few of these but only brought a 20amp one today.
I've gotten a little further with this tonight and it's nearly all working but I think the couple of lights that aren't working weren't working before had this issue.
 Unfortunatly I'm still not sure what the problem was though. I removed the globes from the coin door and plugged the door back in then one by one put the globes back in and each time I turned the machine on I expected I'd blow another fuse but it didn't happen. I wondering if it was the coin door connector or somthing else? Anyway I'm not confident that it's fixed for good but for the moment it's working.

This is the couple of light which still aren't working. I'm not confidant that the wiring to these lights is correct including the braid wire. If someone with a Xenon is able to take a photo underneath this area of the playfield behind the yellow targets that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Perfect, thanks for that. I had a missing piece of braid wire here but all fixed now and lights are working. Hopefully it stays that way!
On to the next problem machine now.

Thanks and thanks for all of your help. I wish I could say I've defiantly gotten to the bottom of the problem but it's fixed at the moment and if it happens again I'll have a lot better idea of how to locate the problem.
Looks a lot better with the lights working.
