Default Jl audio 500v2 nighmare from hell amp help needed

Hello just got this next nightmare from Jl audio .The last month i probably bough and sold over 1o of those amps and the only reason i buy them is couse they sell good and u can actually make a profit and not work for free.So i got this amp with all bad ps irfz44n .I change them all and instaled all new gate resistors 47ohms.Now when power is applied the amp comes on for 3-4 sec and i hear click inside and will power off then on aggain and aggain.Just removed the output transistors and without them the amp stays on .I even swaped the output transistors with one form known good amp and the same story just the amp stays longer on 10sec.without the output transistors i mesured the voltage at the conector by the power terminals
and im seeing a slight diference compared to known good amp

pin 1 -5.5v known good showd 0.00v
pin 2- -16.4v
pin 3- 15.3
pin 4- 6 v
pin 5- 14.5
pin 6- 14.7
pin 7- 0.00v
pin 8- 14.4
pin 9- 14.5
pin 10- 0.00v


Please if u have any guess what might be the ishue i will try everything

Please post a photo of the inside of the amp. I've never worked on a v2 (as far as I can remember) so I need to see what you have.

I'm not sure what the voltages on this amp should be. The information I have is from a v1, rev10.

In the future, use a ':' instead of a '-' as a separator. It's less confusing.

If the water damage is extensive, they're not likely to be worth the effort.

Do you see any signs of overheating on the two filter inductors?

When the outputs were in the circuit, were they overheating?

The DC resistance will be very low. That's normal.

Does the yellow tape appear darkened or melted?

i can really tell if the outputs were overheating ,I didnot let the amp run long to prevent further damage.with voltmeter on the speaker conectors there was no dc voltage.the tape looks darker maybe i should take it off to inspect it
