Yes

Volt meters with loop function were mentioned to help diagnose. Any recommendations on a brand or model?
That was a mis-statement. The clamp-on (loop??) meter being discussed measures DC current (amps), not voltage (volts). There is an article in the TM Technical Library that discusses them and suggests one, but I don't think it would help you with this issue.

A complete brake assembly for TMs was mentioned as well. Any names/makes/models on that assembly?
There is no reason to consider a new brake assembly. The problem does not reside there.
