Nothing happens when turning steering wheel

[WiKi_KiKi]

Hey guys, so I have a Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience wheel all setup. The pedals work fine, all the buttons work fine, but when turning the steering wheel - nothing happens.

 

Even in the Thrustmaster Control Panel, turning the wheel shows nothing there. Anyone ever had this problem before and fixed it, or should I try the Thrustmaster forums?

Go onto to controller settings in game --> Click input wizard ---> wait a moment until you see it as a clickable option --> Go back on to the controller settings and click where it says Keyboard then click your wheel.

Thanks for the reply. Under "Controllers", it says 'Detecting available controllers' for a second and vanishes, and repeats this every few seconds. Actually turning the wheel left/right has no impact even in Thrustmasters Control Panel, so turning in-game has no effect either.

That's weird. Are you sure all cables are correctly connected? Have you tried plugging it into another USB hub? Have you installed all necessary drivers/software?

[WiKi_KiKi]

Thanks for the reply. Yes to everything - tried 3 different USB slots and uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers. Everything functions perfectly except from the wheel - arguably the most important part.

Is the red light on the front of the wheel illuminated?

[WiKi_KiKi]

When I first plug it in it's red, after editing it so the pedals are combined - it goes green.

Is the switch on the left side, right under the wheel set to "PC"? 

[WiKi_KiKi]

Yep, and I make sure its set to PC before plugging it in like manual suggests.

And you've downloaded the drivers from this website?

Yep, even uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure it wasn't a driver issue.

Check this video to make sure your settings in ETS2 are correct:

Hmm, the only difference is that his says "Joy X Axis" for wheel - and mine says "Joy Wheel Axis". I don't see an option to change it either. But I'm also doubtful it would work as turning doesn't register with the device control panel itself. I really appreciate the advice/help so far by the way.

Are you sure the wheel isn't broken? 

[Clashin_Jon]

I had a turtle beach sticker like that but have no clue where they are.

[WiKi_KiKi]

Beginning to look that way! All buttons and the shift up/down work fine, so I would expect the wheel would too. I emailed Thrustmaster support to see what they say. Will update with any new info....

[WiKi_KiKi]

Update: Seems the wheel is broke. I'm sending it back and getting a refund, and I'll buy a Logitech DFGT instead. Thanks to those that helped.

[xhavefunx]

I'd recommend Logitech! 

 

Problem solved i guess.
