Default WHAT is wrong with my servo?!

I am using an airtronics 94357 servo. I recently broke the plastic bottom gear and got it replaced. Problem is that when I plug it into my receiver and everyhting, the steering servo works fine but it seems like there isnt any current going to the throttle servo! What is happening? thanks!

wait so is the throttle servo the servo that you replaced the gear? or the steering? If its your steering gear and then all of a sudden your throttle servo stoped working i would say check wires. check connections. make sure you plugged it in correctly. um, make sure gears arnt stripped in throttle servo. but if you cant find anything wrong, then i would say its burned and no better than a piece of trash.

Yes I replced the gear on the throttle servo. The thing is that it was working when it broke, but you just couldnt extend the servo fully because the gears were stripped. On this, nothing even budges, you can even haer anything. How do I know it is burnt?

well then id say its burned or you put it in wrong. check your wires and try other servos to see if they work too. open the servo up again and see what could be causing the problem. is it a digital servo?
