Does everything else work?
Correct - nothing connected including the pull-up. I have not noticed any other problems with the GEM.
It's possible to have just fried the one port without it affecting any other functions of the GEM.

I'll send you over an email.
Ben,

I have the exact same issue with my temp sensors. My ohm reading is about the same at 2.9. I did have other issues with my system including losing both power adapters to gem and dashbox, and having to adjust my pt pretty dramatically. Not sure if it was due to lightning, but something severe happened.

I read another similar post where Paul recommend s replacing the mosfet? What is the best solution?

You can try replacing the mosfet, but Paul was saying given the voltage issues there might be something else on the board that got fried too (since both power supplies died, voltage is reading wrong, temperature sensors aren't working, etc).
