When tested on a multimeter though, the values are normal, 0 to about 100K ohms. The 2 pots are connected to rc_ana_in02 (extending) and rc_ana_in12 (rotating). If we swap them, rotating continues to work, and extending continues to just sit at max. Has anyone ever come across this before? Or does anyone know any potential fixes?
Thanks ahead.

Sounds like a mounting/connection problem. We had that last year.
