Help Fanatec CSL Elite V2 brake stopped registering completely after gradually losing input
my brake input started dropping during a race.. until it eventually stopped registering completely. The throttle and clutch are still working normally, but the brake gives absolutely no input.
Ive tried a couple of things..
Dismantled the pedals from my rig and cleaned them.
Disconnected and reconnected all the cables.
Swapped the complete pedal electrical connections at the pedal base to test them in different positions.
The throttle and clutch work when connected to each other’s inputs.
The brake doesn’t work regardless of which input I connect it to.
The throttle and clutch also give no reading when connected to the brake input.
I’ve also removed the brake rod and elastomers to inspect the assembly. I noticed that the RJ connector on the brake cable has some black marks on the contacts that I don’t see on the throttle or clutch connectors. I’ve attached photos.
Been checking online and the only thing I found close enough was someone saying the eventually had to replace the load cell.
