We hooked up a servo to that cable and the servo worked fine. So through some sort of "magic" by one of our engineers bending a pin, the victor worked again.
But today, we hooked the victor up again and, surely enough, it didn't work, still blinking orange. But this time, when we hooked up the servo again, the servo wouldn't work. We finally switched a victor and the connection was working again.
This is a very peculiar problem. I must say that these victors are really bad this year. No labels, pieces of plastic sticking out of the pwm connection, and now this... oy.

I wouldn't say your victors are bad yet you may have a bad cable. One of the crimps to the pins may be loose or you may have a broken internal wire. Either way if you move the cable a little bit one way you may make a full connection while if its moved any other way the connection is not there it theres no pwm signal so you get the blinking orange light. I would say to try a cable that is brand new or one that works for sure, and make sure when you put it in, it goes in all the way [this may require a little force].
