Ya, but you have to look into the sketch to make sure it's assign to that pin.

Oh, that, lol, ya I did. I have a feeling it's not a sketch related problem.
The lines I found in the sketch that I think do what I'm wanting are:
const int HoodFansPWM = 44; //PWM Hood Heatsink Fan (code added so frequency = 25kHz)
const int HoodFansTranzPin = 47; //Hood Heatsink Fan on/off

This would leave me believe the arduino pins would be 44 and 47, not 45 and 48 as per the diagram previously referred to.

I have a feeling it's a wiring issue. That's why I was hoping to figure out if I should be able to read certain V's at specific places to be able to troubleshoot the circuit.
