5volt not working on power distribution board

So we were trying to rig up our never before used axis camera from last year so we could take an attempt at tracking. We connected the wires to the 5v slot on the power distribution board from 2011. The problem we're having is the camera receives no power and the 5volt light on the power distribution board doesn't even light up. Our battery is fully charged and we double checked this via volt meter. Its a 12volt battery. the 12v and 24v slots on the PD board light up and everything that is supposed to be powered works fine and is effectively powered. We haven't made any recent changes to the electrical system.



Any insight on this is welcome and I believe I put in all the info I could think of
