Angry Help me! Dx2 wnt bind

I have a spektrum dx2 with a sr 3000 rx z590 steering servo and losi b0819 throttle servo. Lights come on but I get no servo movement. Light on rx is dim n slightly flashing. I'm some what new to the Rc world. I have a spektrum dx3 in my hpi truggy n it runs fine. I can get it to bind with no servos plugged in. But when they r plugged in I get no movement. What am I doin wrong? Or can I not use mix matched servos? Please help. I need my 8ight back.

Your servos are fine. I had this issue with a DX2 years ago. Make sure you are giving some sort of input on the transmitter when you set the failsafe position. I wanted to have everything return to neutral for my failsafe, but it didn't like that. Gave it full brake as my failsafe position and it took bind right away. Hope that helps.

Have you tried just one servo at a time? Make sure everything is plugged in the right way, its not hard to put them in backwards, happens occasionally. Black or dark wires to the outside of the receiver i believe. Also try a new model on the radio. Have you tried using the receiver battery from the HPI?

Yes I have tried one at a time. I get a twitching noise from the servos but nothing else. N it's a dim blinking light for power on the power light on Rx. I did not try reversing plugs. I'll try that next.

I tried reversing them n they r plugged in correct. Still got same reaction. The Losi throttle servo twitches spectrum steering servo don't move if both are plugged in. Light on receiver comes on steady when nothing is plugged in and it stays on steady. I plug in a servo and it is a dim flashing. Could it b my Rx is goin bad? Or am I not binding properly.

I tried giving it full brake and it did take it but then went back to what it was doin? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My dx3 will not even bind with this Rx for some reason. I tried using my dx3 since I use it on my hip trough n nothing. But I'm gonna try n switch receivers as well tomoro after work. I'll keep everyone posted
