Hi everyone I need some help.  I am getting 0 resistance at 11 and 12 on the selector switch, A1, A7 and at terminal 4.  B side checks out fine at 1.07.  I have gone over the wiring several time and checked everything I can think of. Any ideas?

What do you measure with one probe on terminal 4 and one on terminal 5?

One of those terminals does not have a good connection. Resolder both and make sure that the leads of the resistor are making firm physical contact with the terminals.

started from scratch on terminal 4.  Cleaned everything and I still get the same result.  The resistor checks out fine.

So you are saying if you fully remove the resistor from the circuit, it measures 1.07KΩ. When it is soldered between two terminals, it measures "nothing?" Can you clarify what nothing is? Do you mean 0Ω (like when you touch the probes together) or over limit (like if your probes aren't touching anything). 

Also, please post pictures of your build so we can try to see what might be going on?

I get 1.07 on the B side 9 to 10. on the A side I get what my meter shows at 1. which is what I get when the probes are not touching.

And yes 1.07KΩ

That means you have a bad solder joint.

OK I got this problem corrected. As I expected stupidity on my part (wrong resistor).  Anyway resistance is correct now. Thanks for the assistance.
