Kraton Servo locking up

[Pablo1980]

Evening ladies and gents, need some help on why my servo that I'm using locks up when I turn the esc on but when turned off the servo moves freely. I've taken the servo out and just tried it on the work bench and still the same. I've taken it apart to see if there are any issues with the gears but they are all fine. Any help will be much appreciated

I had this issue when my servo had water in it. Also, can see you try it with a different receiver?

If you turn the wheels and power it on does it center itself?

Nope, as soon as you power it on the servo is locked but turns freely with no power

If you're able to work the ESC like normal, then plug the servo into CH2 on the receiver and test it with your transmitter's trigger.

Hi, I've tried that too I've taken the servo out and tried it on three different recievers now and still the same that as soon as I turn it all on the servo will not budge but as soon as there is no power I can turn the servo fine,I've never come across this b4 so I'm a bit baffled
