Yes, you should get deflection on the vane. Depending upon the particular radio, there may be a resistor across the shadow meter, and the meter could be open. Alternatively, the vane could be frozen (more like sticking), I've had good luck using a small spritz of Liquid Wrench on the vane itself to free it up. A third possibility is that the magnet may have lost gauss, and need to be remagnetized.
