Yep. I will post updates when I am done figuring it out. Thanks

Ig,
It's somewhere near worthless and a waste of time to post any details
until you get it solved.

Ig, it's apparent that some folks refuse to read your first post, wanting
instead to make the problem fit their solution. However, three people
all suggested the same, useful thing.

Ig... those who suggested checking continuity between the "A", leads and
the brush holders shouldn't have had to make that suggestion. That check
should have been a natural part of your protocol to begin with, as soon
as you saw power to the A leads, but none on the brushes themselves.
(just a small finger-wagging G)
