Seth,
Can you tell us which meter you were using and I am guessing you were in continuity mode and not resistance mode? It is possible that there is a component in series with the negative lead on one or more of the control components. Your meter might have reduced the impedance sufficiently to allow the sensor to turn on. Depending on the component and the series impedance, it is possible that the sensors are not receiving sufficient power supply to operate. As I remember, the Banner sensors require a specific power supply voltage.
