The Steering servo is not powering up everytime. When i turn the ESC on, the servo is dead. If i unplug the servo from the receiver (which powers up every time) and then plug it right back in, it turns right on and works fine. Power the switch off, and the process repeats the next time.

I have tried Rebinding radio and receiver, calibrating the ESC, with or without my extension wire (Ko has short leads that cant reach the receiver box), I tried a different receiver, a different servo (same brand and model), and im getting the same results every time.

I was messing with it earlier. When i turn on the ESC and the servo doesn't immediately center, i shut the switch right back off. If i keep cycling power like this (on, no servo, right back off, on, no power right back off), the servo does eventually power up normally. It takes anywhere from 5-10 tries. Everything else is fine, no glitching, and no other misbehaving at all. As this is a HV servo, the BEC is set as such. Please advise.
What servo is it? What Radio?
