I guess I'd start by unplugging the 9 pin connector on the selector
magnet driver bracket. If you still get 20V on the loop, then there's a
short somewhere in the wiring on the call control unit (probably on the
relay). If not, then there's a problem in the selector magnet driver.
There aren't that many components in there, so it can't be too hard to
test the lot!
