Hot Tub won't turn on???

Just got this used tub all hooked up and it won't turn on?  

There are 4 wires... 2 hots reading 120v each,  a neutral reading 0v and a ground reading 0v. 

While hooked up it reads 120v from the black,  red and white terminals.  It also reads continuity from the black and white terminals (with and without power).   Is this correct?   What is the problem?

>>>>>  120v from the black,  red and white terminals.  

Are you saying you get 120V from black to white, then 120V from red to white?  What do you get from black to red?

Black to red should give you 240V.  If it doesn't, than your incoming power isn't right and it's time to call an electrician.

If you are getting 240V across black & red, then you've verified you have power going to the tub.  Now, turn it off, pull the fuses and check to make sure they're good fuses.  (You can't check the fuses while they're in the tub.)

Is anything happening on the topside?  Do you hear relays clicking?
