$20 if you count the handful of 3amp fuses I popped trying to find the fault, the extra crispy lizard was apparently not the problem.

was the capacitor wasn’t it?
that was literally the last 2 times. This time it was the secondary coil on the contactor, had a short. Well i guess it’s technically always short since it’s a continuous wire but it was even shorter. Was getting about 2 ohms across the coil and i guess 10-20 ohms is expected and the low resistance was popping the secondary fuse.

inductor things

glad you find the short, that one is even more tricky than a obviously busted capacitor
