You must follow the test procedure and verify that all of the voltage and resistance values are correct. You cannot assume the amplifier is good based on this sort of test.

Check the inline fuse in the fues box.

You should go to www.w116.org and look at the testing procedures in the ACC II FSM located there.

Over 75% of the servos I harvest from Pik-N-Pull actually work fine. The biggest servo problem is a coolant leak, either externally or internally. However, I find very few bad servos and far more items in the system that appear to be the servo's fault.
