Default DX3C won't steer

I have a new dx3c radio whos steering channel won't activate my steering servo on my Inferno GT2. The steering channel works great on my other cars but not the GT2. I have swapped receivers and the same thing still occurs. The throttle channel on the radio works fine but when i move the wheel on the radio it won't activate the steering servo. When I turn on the power to the receiver the steering servo will come alive but thats it. I've rebound the receiver but it still does not work. Any suggestions?

Did you try another servo? Just because it "comes alive" when you power up the esc doesn't mean it's truly functioning.

I'm running in a nitro GT2 and swapping servos did not help. One thing I did try was a reset on that model memory in the radio and that got the steering servo going again, but now when the engine is running it gets real twitchy and glitchy on that channel, is it possible there is interference?

Sounds like it. Did you try another servo to make sure it's not the servo itself?

Tried other servos, same type of glitching.

Upon further review, improper placement of wires during chassis replacement, signal wire cut, loss of servo, repeat second down! Time keeper and can you please reset the play clock to: get a clue!

you need to take the radio apart and clean the potentiometer or replace it
