URGENT - No power from backup battery/PWM port voltage

We're getting no power from the backup battery. One of the terminals fell off the RC and has been resoldered. We noticed that we have continuity from backup battery ground to PWM grounds, but not from backup battery + to PWM +V. I am guessing that this voltage is regulated bt the RC (i.e. is disconnected when the RC is off), but I could be wrong. So two questions:
  1. Can someone see if they're getting +V from PWM ports when the RC is off?
  2. Any ideas as to why we're not able to use the backup battery?
We have an offseason comp on Saturday and are trying to train drivers. This is urgent. Thanks for your help.
