Trollmaster Pro Wireless Controller issue

[Unreel]

Anyone that has the wireless Pro 3 Plus that can help out. I've had this unit since they came out and its been great. This year after a bunch of work done on the boat i cant get the trollmaster to work again. It has power, the remote syncs to the control unit and the red light flashes when a button is pressed on the remote. The servo won't do anything so i tried a replacement servo and no difference. I checked the power at the servo cable and its getting 6v on the red and black wire and none on the yellow. Voltage doesn't change when any buttons are pressed on the remote. I did notice when a button was pressed on the remote, the red light on the control unit would light up and then flicker before going out, not sure this means anything but seems like the signal isn't making it to the servo.

I believe the yellow wire is the signal/feedback wire from the controller. Not sure about the Trollmaster controller in particular, just a little understanding of the basic servo working.

May try unplugging and restart? Did solve a similar issue I had once.

Should there be any voltage on that wire do you know? I would think when a button is pressed there should be some change.

Pretty sure they yellow wire is the signal wire. Little servos all use pulse width from the controller. I have one sitting here on my bench. Just plugged it into the test bench and the yellow wire is un-measureable with a basic meter. However when getting commands from the remote the light on the controller flickers. Only when it's getting an RF signal. Hope that helps a bit. Easiest thing to do would be try a different servo. I have a few laying around people can have.

I can't remember, would be very small voltage or could be resistance feedback. Get one of these testers though, there's different ones available, some with a power supply and servo. Cheap yo test the system before you spend any significant money.
