The PWM Signal Driver cable that the OP said he was using gets its power from the receiver via the red wire1. The signal driver cable then sources the current required to drive the Victor's PWM input2.


@DBFIU: If you aren't getting a voltage signal at the Victor end of your PWM signal cable (as described in earlier post), check to make sure the cable is getting power from the receiver.
