[Elecraft] K2 Front Panel Resistance Check Readings :(

I'm running into a problem with the resistance checks for the K2 Front Panel
Board. Specifically, I'm getting 0 reading from J1(1) - J1(7) and J1(12) -
J1(14).

My readings:

PIN // Expected // Actual

U1(1)  //  25k-35k  //  29.4k (GOOD)
U1(2)  //  25k-35k  //  29.5k (GOOD)
U1(3)  //  40k-60k  //  50.4k (GOOD)
U1(4)  //  >50k  //  12.8M (GOOD)
U1(5)  //  15k-40k  //  24.6k (GOOD)
U1(6-11)  //  0  //  0 (GOOD)
U1(12)  //  9k-11k  //  9.8k (GOOD)
U1(13-40)  //  >50k  //  >50k (GOOD)

J1(1)  //  >1M  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(2)  //  >1M  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(3)  //  >1M  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(4)  //  >1M  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(5)  //  >1M  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(6)  //  >50k  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(7)  //  >1M  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(8)  //  0  //  0 (GOOD)
J1(9)  //  >50k  //  26.9M (GOOD)
J1(10)  //  >50k  //  9.4M (GOOD)
J1(11)  //  >50k  //  22.5M (GOOD)
J1(12)  //  >50k  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(13)  //  >50k  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(14)  //  >50k  //  0 (*BAD*)
J1(15)  //  10k-60k  //  71.6k (*HIGH*)
J1(16)  //  25k-35k  //  28.5k (GOOD)
J1(17)  //  25k-35k  //  28.3k (GOOD)
J1(18)  //  15k-40k  //  23.7k (GOOD)
J1(19)  //  1.5k-3.5k  //  2.5k (GOOD)
J1(20)  //  0  //  0 (GOOD)

I did not install the SSB option yet as indicated in the manual.

For each J1 pin reading zero, I did conduct a continuity check between the
pin and other parts on the board based on the diagram in Appendix B. All
were successful. (Most were done between J1 pins and the empty rows holes to
the right of the NB button).

I feel like I'm missing something very simple. Look at the diagram, PINS 1-7
seem to work with voice functions (SSB). Should I expect to get values here
if the option isn't installed?

Thanks from a first timer...
