Help Fanatec CSL Elite V2 brake stopped registering completely after gradually losing input

Post image
0 Upvotes

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.

  • Upgraded blue aluminum QR2 Quick Release — a substantial upgrade from the standard quick-release system, providing a solid, premium connection to your wheel base.

The McLaren GT3 V2 provides an excellent combination of realistic GT-style controls, ergonomic design, and immersive sim-racing functionality. The integrated VoCore display takes it a step further by putting critical race information directly in your line of sight.

Compatible with supported Fanatec wheel bases and PC/PlayStation setups, making it an excellent choice for Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 as well as PC sim racing.

The VoCore display is driven through SimHub, allowing you to choose from numerous existing dashboards or create/customize your own.

Game Settings GranTurismo7 - What's happened to my wheel???

0 Upvotes

It feels cheesy now!

Feedback is practically non existent.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm not seeing?

Is it because GT7 has switched wheel manufacturers to Moza and their phasing out fanatec?

I've put over $1,700.00 into my rig! That's alot of money on my meager salary. I don't want to buy another wheel setup!

help......

Review My house was struck by lightning and it fried my CSL DD 8nm. I reached out to Fanatec and they have offered to repair it under warranty. I cannot thank Fanatec enough for this.

Discussion The Boost 180 kit is half price right now

• Upvotes

Was setting up a new monitor on my rig and decided to take a peek at Fanatec pedals and while browsing around the US site I saw the Boost 180 kit was only 60 bucks. Didn't see it mentioned in a search of the sub so I figured I shout it out in case anyone wanted to pick up an upgrade for cheap like me.

Discussion keep 474 or switch to Fanatec App ?

6 Upvotes

What is the current opinion on switching to the app ? I tried the app about a year ago and it did not do anything for me. I actually found it more difficult to determine what my wheel settings were since the app would change them at times.
