Default possible wiring problem?

Okay i recently changed the esc and servo in my rig and now it seems that my reciever and servo aren't getting power.

Anyone have suggestions?

-Do the lights/LEDs come on when the rig is powered?
-Did you plug the connectors into the RX correctly? (black or brown wire is usually towards the outside edge of the RX).
-Is the battery charged?

The rig doesn't have lights, the esc make the normal beep when its powered on.
The connectors are plugged in correct.
And the battery is a fresh one.

The throttle worked earlier, but no steering. Not sure whats up with it.

Try plugging the ESC into another slot, sounds like your RX is bad and that slot is no longer accepting and transferring power to the other pins.

Tried that. Ive even tried the reciever with another esc servo combo. Works fine then.

I have had similar problems before. Turned out my servo was bad and had a short in it. If it works fine with another combo then try changing out just the servo.

Power wire from speed control (red or center wire) still connected?
Some external BEC setups cut the power wire from the speed control to the rx?
The way I did my plug you would not see it is disconnected?
Maybe?
