Default servo problem

so i went out to run my truck today and my steering servo doesn't respond. i plugged it into my other truck and still no response.
it is plugged in the correct way and my batteries are fully charged.

First thing I do is run my fingers along the length of the wire to feel if there are any breaks under the insulation. Look for any cuts or crimps in the wire, etc. But yeah, after that open it up and look for burn marks.
