There should actually be about 1kOhm resistance from Gate to source, but drain to source should be large. I would disconnect the bus bars from the battery pack and turn on 12v to the control board, withe the throttle connected. Then I'd check the voltage from any of GR1 through GR10(either side) to the B- bus bar. It should be zero volts. Then with the volt meter still attached, I'd give it a little throttle. The voltage should climb to about 12v, and then drop to zero, and the led should start flashing. Does that happen?
