Well hopefully the new contactor isn’t bad it was just delivered this morning. I’ll be giving your suggestion a try tomorrow evening when I got home. I’ll definitely let you know what the outcome is.
It blows immediately when I switch the power on. I’ll definitely try disconnecting the low voltage wires outside before plugging a new fuse in. Thank you for that suggestion that’s one thing I didn’t try. If that does work, or Atleast doesn’t blow the fuse, what would that narrow the problem...

Thank you! Honestly I’ve never had any luck repairing components on a circuit board. But if it’s definitely a bad board I can certainly swap the components from one to the other lol.
