Yes, you can ignore the DC pins, which are not used when AC charging, when checking for continuity.
Might also check the connectors on the circuit board that plug in for the J1772 control signalling.
By the way, you use a 5/32 Allen wrench on the "brown and blue AC Wires from charging cable" according to FCSP information documents and "torque to 70 lb-in. The brown wire terminates on the top lug, and blue to the bottom lug."
With the report of moisture inside the FCSP I'd suspect that H2O problem is more likely the cause of the failure.
Not sure if Ford checks warranty returned units for the cause of the failure or just trashes them.
But after you get a new one, probably a good idea to try to figure out how the moisture/water got in and seal it up better.
However, if it is just ambient humidity that condensed inside the FCSP, maybe relocating it to a less humid enclosed area, or using a dehumidifier, if inside a garage for example.
They are supposed to be suitable for mounting outdoors, but I wonder.
