Default Brake locked up but getting voltage

Good afternoon to everyone!

Ok... Started smelling brakes, so I did some testing and came up with that I needed a new brake. Ok, put the new brake on and no go, still locked up...

Switch in Tow position, key in N position...

If I measure voltage at the brake I get the same voltage that comes from my batteries, but brake is locked, no movement.

But, if I jump wires directly from the batteries to the brake, it releases fully...

How are you measuring the voltage? Measure across the two pins. If each has the same voltage relative to battery negative, then the brake itself has no voltage across it.

As volt says, measureing between the two pins at the brake. Negative for the brake is coming from the controller. If any fault detected during the self test, it won't release. Danaher or Curtis cart?

I think it's a Danaher cart, has the grey ACO controller

Follow the mechanical brake test in the Danaher Troubleshooting Guide, page 32-33.

Found a scanner, have done every test we could find... Brakes are still locked up, have changed everything

Ok, measured several ways.

Switch in Tow mode, key in N position, brake is removed from motor and unplugged

Test across both pins in connector, same voltage as batteries.

Negative lead connected to battery -, positive lead on tester connected to grey wire pin, same voltage as batteries.

Positive lead connected to battery, negative lead connected to black w/white stripe, same voltage as batteries.

Am I testing correctly in all 3 scenarios?
