Hi, I've been casually playing Assetto Corsa with my G29 for about 2 years now and recently I've been having issues with my G29. The other day when I went to play but my setup wasn't turning on or connecting to my computer. After a lot of trial and error I realized that my setup loses power whenever the pedals are connected as shown in this video:
After perusing some threads, some people suggested that it was perhaps a short in the pedals. I inspected the wires and none of them seem to have any visible damage to them. I went out and bought a multimeter to see check "continuity" of the wires but any two points that I touch on the wiring harness/potentiometers/DB9 port seem to flow (i'm not sure if this means anything, i'm pretty new to this stuff).
I saw in another thread here: where /u/wrobc suggested testing the resistance of the potentiometers saying they should have a resistance somewhere close to 3k Ohms however when I attempted to test the resistance it was showing a reading of 1 Ohm? Not sure if I'm not doing it correctly:
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I haven't been able to race for a couple days now and I'm quite bored.
Thank you!
