Default Steering servo pools all the way to the left! help!

My steering servo just started to pull to the left. ( all the way to the left! and it wont do nothing else.)
i got a multiplex servo ( its huuuge!) and i didnt crashed my car. didnt change anything on the radio so i dont know whats up.
i checked the receiver everything is connected in the right way.
if i connect the battery to the receiver nothing would happen. but as soon as i turn on my radio the wheels turn to the left.

i connected the steering to another channel on the receiver it does the same thing. oh and the servo turned super hot!!!!

First take the horn off the servo and see if it sets at a mid point. You servo horn could have moved and now its trying to center itself but the center point is far left. If you remove the horn and it goes left and will not let you go right, then its time for a new servo.

If you need a local shop, let me know. (its where I work)

You could have a stripped gear or a bad pot in the servo. Check it out. You miay have to just buy a new servo.
