Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Ok I desoldered the 10 pin connector and clearly saw the H02 pin connection didn't have any solder so now the 10 pin connector sit about 5mm high as I soldered the top pads
Now tried again and still voltage to R52 so thought ok the only thing this can be is the ribbon connector Got out my 10 pin ribbon connector for my AVRDude as shown below
H02 L02
H02 L01
H01 L01
L02 L01
So hopefully these scope pic's are right

Now while I had the board running decided to take some voltage checks, the 18V zener was around 18 volts and the TIP25 measured right.
Taking voltage reading at the mosfets pads where the positive probe is on Vbat+(26.03 volts) and the negative probe used for the test.
