You said you worked on the dropping resistor ( ballast resistor) that feeds the pilot lamp, are you sure that's not shorting to something?

I would first do a ohm check to ground from the red wire and the green wire on the power supply filters, as a reading of less then 1000 ohms would indicate a short on that power supply rail, and then we need to dig deeper!
