Default Side winder SV2 will not turn on all the way?

My side winder will do the 4 beeps like its ready to go and then a couple more beeps followed by which should be 4 more beeps telling me its turned on which I do not get the last 4 beeps. It was working fine yesterday, I swapped the transmission and plugged a battery up to it, and thats what it was doing. The BEC is on, I've switched motor wires, Unplugged them to see if it was them, I have hooked it up to my castle link to see if it didnt uncalibrate itsself. This thing is brand new. Its had 2 runs on it. I can't figure out what the deal is?

Sounds like it needs to be recalibrated to your RX (unless the RX lost it's calibration to the TX).
Does anything else work (steering)?
What lights are on for the ESC??

The steering works but I've got the Steering wired through the BEC, it flashes a red light and when I pull the trigger a green light, and when I go reverse it blinks a red light and when in neutral it flashes a red light.

Try recalibrating the ESC to the RX.... based on this CC link.... http://www.castlecreations.com/suppo...mamba_max.html text is:

13. What do the flashing LEDs mean?
The LEDs can have different meanings depending on what you are doing.

If you are not calibrating and have no throttle input:
Flashing Red and Yellow = over temp
Flashing Green and Yellow = low voltage cut-off(battery)
Flashing Green OR Red = Speed control has not been calibrated and is not armed; or throttle sub-trim is not at 0.
Solid Green OR Red = should not happen when at neutral, indicates full throttle/reverse
Flashing Yellow = possible problem with controller
Solid Yellow = indicates neutral and armed
Flashing all colors = speed control is not receiving a valid signal from the receiver, usually indicates the receiver wire is plugged in backwards into the receiver; possible problem with controller or with throttle channel on receiver.

If you are applying throttle or reverse when NOT calibrating:
Flashing Red and Yellow = over temp
Flashing Green and Yellow = low voltage cut-off(battery)
Flashing Green OR Red = indicates partial throttle (green) or reverse (red)
Solid Green OR Red = indicates full throttle (green) or reverse (red)
Flashing Yellow = possible problem with control
Solid Yellow = should never happen
Flashing all colors = speed control is not receiving a valid signal from the receiver, usually indicates the receiver wire is plugged in backwards into the receiver; possible problem with controller or with throttle channel on receiver.

If you are applying throttle or reverse WHEN calibrating:
Flashing Red and Yellow = should not happen when calibrating
Flashing Green and Yellow = should not happen when calibrating
Flashing Green OR Red while beeping = indicates speed control is looking for full throttle (green) or full throttle (red). If it continues for more than ~ 8 seconds, indicates speed control is seeing partial throttle (green) or reverse (red), increase endpoints on transmitter so speed control sees full throttle/reverse.
Solid Green OR Red = indicates full throttle (green) or reverse (red) has been read
Flashing Yellow = speed control is not seeing a valid neutral signal, check your transmitters throttle sub-trim is at zero, exponential is set to 0 or linear, and mixing is disabled.
Solid Yellow = indicates neutral has calibrated and is armed
Flashing all colors = speed control is not receiving a valid signal from the receiver. Usually indicates the receiver wire is plugged in backwards into the receiver; also happens when speed control has accepted a calibration setting (throttle, reverse or neutral) and flashes/chimes 4 times before moving to next calibration point; or problem with throttle channel on receiver.

I have to say ~80% of ESC issues are resolved by recalibrating it to the RX.
Reading the manual quickly will help as well.
Glad it's working now.
