You stated that when you unplugged the three pin molex connector from the 5033 board that the fuse did not blow.
Question - were the red and green wires connected to all boards at the main capacitors at that time?
If so was the pilot light working at that time?
If the red and green wires were connected to all of the boards and the fuse did not blow when the molex was unplugged then I agree with Bill, the cause of the overload definitely points to the 5033.
Also agreeing with Steve bad idea to just unhook the red wire from the 5033 or any of the boards by itself.
From the board configuration and model it appears we are discussing a Kustom Commander with 2 12" speakers. If my model is off then a Kustom Hustler with 4 10" speakers.
I also noted you stated that the fuse did not blow with the red wires disconnected from the caps.
This is the reason for my question of were the red wires connected to the caps with the molex plug pulled.
Steve and Bill not trying to take over here, just trying to fully understand the situation.
