If the voltage on pin 15 isn't switching off, you need to find the two transistors that correspond to the ones in the diagram. The reason it wasn't switching couldn't have been the square washer because you measured the voltage and it was 0v.
To prevent this from happening in the vehicle, replace the screw and plate washer with a regular 4mm screw and use a ring or spade terminal for remote.

Gotcha.
I rechecked pin 1isand it is at 12.5v with no remote terminal voltage and 12.48 with remote terminal voltage.
I will continue to look for the transistor as described.

I am checking using the diode (beep) function of my meter. When B+ is connected every transistor collector I check is connected to pin 15, same with every transistor emmiter connected with B+. However with B+ disconnected none of the transistors are connected with pin 15.
You can't have voltage applied to the circuit when using diode-check or ohms. The meter relies on the voltage it applies to the circuit to give the readings.
The transistor may not be directly connected. A series resistor could be preventing you from seeing the connection with a meter. Follow the traces back away from pin 15, using the meter to find traces that pass under the IC or other components.

Q13 B: 5.13v with no remote voltage
Q13 B: -13.09 with remote voltage
Pin 15: 12.47 with no remote voltage
Pin 15: 12.46 with remote voltage
Q13 B: -13.09 with remote voltage
Pin 15: 12.47 with no remote voltage
Pin 15: 12.46 with remote voltage
The voltages on the base don't seem right. They should never go negative and the base should be at 12v with no remote. With remote, it should pull down. This may not be the right transistor if those voltages are correct.
In post 117 you said to look for a PNP, could it possibly be an NPN?
There are a pain of 06 transistors that connect collectors to pin 15 and emitters to B+.

That is VERY rare. It's possible that someone could have installed the wrong transistor if it's not original.
Q6 B: 0 volts no change with Voltage to remote
Pin 15: .5v no change with Voltage to remote.
Reinstalled Q6, Removed Q1
Q1 B: .006 volts no change with Voltage to remote.
Pin 15: .6v without remote voltage,
Pin 15; .5-.6v (up and down) with remote voltage
Pin 15: .5v no change with Voltage to remote.

Try it from the other direction (the remote terminal) to see if you can find anything that looks like the circuit I posted.
I rechecked the voltages on the 3525 and now they are nearly all 0.
