I'm not sure I understand what you've measured.  I take it you have 
measured the EFC pin on the OCXO, and it reads 5.02v?  Have you also 
determined what the voltage is on the DAC output pin?  (Are they 
connected directly together, or is there a resistor or other 
circuitry between them?)  If they are both at 5.02v, you need to 
disconnect them and see which one is pulling the node to that voltage 
(it could be an internal failure in the OCXO).

Best regards,
