The receiver light going out is a clear indication of no/low voltage from the BEC. However, what is causing that? It could be a faulty/weak BEC or maybe there is something wrong with the servo itself.

To eliminate the BEC as the culprit, try a receiver pack or external BEC. If it still has issues, I would suspect the servo.

I had a Hitec servo a while back where one of the internal gear pins had worn away the exle point in the case and elongated the hole. It would run fine sometimes, but then other times would bind up and stall the motor and do exactly as you describe, even with no load like you demonstrated.. Do you have any other servo you could try?
