Your description reflects what you'd see if the IR receiver were powered, say from a separate 9v battery or other source that isn't the same source of power that the Robot Controller uses (12v battery).

How is it being powered when it doesn't work? We want to know what wires are connected to pins 1-4 of the ribbon cable, and where those wires go. Be specific. The answer will help us to either rule out or zero in on possible causes of your problem.
