Hi guys,
I just noticed that my JP GI string is out on the bottom half of the
backbox. I think F4 is the fuse that controls it. The fuse and fuse
holder looks good. Would this be a transistor? If so which one?
What else should I check for. Thanks in advance for the help.

Forget transistor. Fuse looks good isn't good enough. Pull and check with a
meter. Check that the fuse holder is good and soldered on tight. Check the
GI connector for burn. LTG :)

I vote GI connector issue too but could be a bad fuse or holder. Looks
good never means good, that's one thing I have learned especially with
fuses and DE games fuse holders!

Thanks guys,
You're awesome! It was a burnt connector and pins. Anyway I switched
out the pins and was about to crimp and put on a new molex when I
realized that one of the wires is one of those that loop in and out of
the same pin. What's the best way to crimp this wire? I think I
know, but want to make sure I do it properly.

Thanks,
Troy

If you can't loop it, make it a "Y" and the single end into the connector.
