Default Connecting Progcard II to HeliJive

I've done this successfully a few times, but for whatever reason I can't get the connection to work now with my HJ. I'm using HJ120 (v11). I removed both the master and slave cables from the HJ and then connected the master port from the HJ to the 'ESC' port on the Progcard II. I then powered the HJ with my normal flight pack. When I do this, all the lights on the Progcard II momentarily light up for about 1 second and then turn off. What am I doing wrong?

Strange as that is the correct procedure, just make sure of the polarity of the cable at both ProgCard and HJ side.

Bumping this up to see if anyone has any other suggestions. This thing is driving me crazy. I've tried it on both a HJ and PJ with the same result.

Have you tried using a different servo cable? If its not the cable I'd say the Program Card is defective.

Isn't the two contact jumper supposed to be plugged in? Opposite side of esc master and slave jacks.
