hope this helps

Running all the time can be caused by one of the forward drive FETs being blown as these switch the battery negative to the motor negative.

If the brake FET was blown short circuit (motor negative to motor positive, the forward FETs would get hot when throttle was applied because the blown FET would be shorting them out.
