If everything you wrote is accurate then it’ can only be one thing. The servo might be plugged into the SSC-32 backwards. The black wire should be toward the outside.
The only thing I’m not sure of is how you are enabling the servos. If you have a servo connected to channel 0 you would type the following to enable it and test it.
#0P1500 cr
The cr means you press the enter key.
This should start the servo pulses being generated on the SSC-32 on channel 0. You wouldn’t happen to have a scope would you? If so you could look at the pin that connects to the yellow wire for pulses. Another less accurate method would be to use a DC volt meter to measure if the pulses are there. With no pulses it’s going to read 0vdc, but with 1500uS pulses it will read 0.37vdc. Let me know…
The online instructions indicated that I could just move the fader in the Lynxterm program and it would move the servo connected to that channel. Is that not correct?
I’ll try typing in the code you provided tonight when I get home.
Yes, I have a small multimeter hat will measure AC/DC Volts and Resistance. I don’t have a continuity tone on it though. I can borrow a much better one from work if needed.

I’m assuming you do not have any power related issues. Try putting the black wire of the volt meter on the outside row of pins, and the red wire on the middle row of pins at the servo ports. Make sure you’re getting the 6vdc that should be there. It could be that the wall pack is dead. Make sure the wires from the wiring harness are not touching. They can be a bit finicky to get inside the screw terminal housing without having some pushed outside the housing.
I reseated the power leads and tested that I was getting voltage at VS1 & VL, which I was.
I tested the servo connectors to see that I was getting +6.15vDC, and I was.
I tested the Pulse connectors by putting the black multimeter probe on the ground and the red multimeter probe on the Pulse terminal and sending control data to the card from the Lynxterm software. No voltage reading. Looks like I’m not getting control pulses to the Pulse terminals.
That clinches it for me. We’re going to have to replace that puppy. I would like the old one back so I can see what went wrong. Send me a PM to work out the details.
