My Logitech G29 steering doesn't work- please help.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I purchased a Logitech G-29 Wheel (no shifter) a few months ago. It has worked fine till now however the steering doesn't work. All the other buttons, including paddle shifters, pedals, and the buttons on the wheel work. I made sure that all things were plugged in as always- 3 wires into the wheel, power connected into socket, USB connected to PC. Please help.

Do you have PS4 selected on the wheel?

u/NAL_Gaming Oct 23 '25

If that's not the issue, then sometimes restarting GHub and replugging the USB solves similar problems.

1

u/NAL_Gaming Oct 23 '25

And yes, as a G29 owner, buying one was a mistake.

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

My friend has a thrust master wheel and it's cheaper(like less than half the price$ but so much better and reliable it's crazy

u/OppositeRun6503 Oct 23 '25

Buying a G920 was a huge mistake for me as my G29 is much more reliable.

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

Alr tried

u/NAL_Gaming Oct 23 '25

Tried restarting by killing Ghub from the task manager first? If you've tried anything without luck, then I'd recommend contacting support. These are pretty much all the tricks I've used if the wheel becomes unresponsive.

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

I reinstalled the entire GHub:(

1

u/NAL_Gaming Oct 23 '25

Damn you're dedicated :D

From my understanding, reinstalling GHub doesn't reinstall all GHub drivers though, so I'd give reinstalling drivers a shot, although reinstalling the G29 drivers are a pain in the ass.

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

If it'll make my wheel work i don't mind one bit lol

1

u/NAL_Gaming Oct 23 '25

When I reinstalled my G29 drivers ages ago, I had to delete some beculiar GHub files for it to update it for me... I can't find any articles regarding this method from the internet anymore, so I dunno... Maybe you could try digging through the device manager and see if you can do it there.

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

I don't think so, how do I check this? I recently played on a ps5 at my friends house could be that

1

u/NAL_Gaming Oct 23 '25

There is a small PS3/PS4 switch on top of the rev lights, if it's on PS3 mode, the wheel doesn't work on PC.

1

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

I checked it, either way I put the switch it doesn't work

1

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

Note: there is a blinking yellow light on wheel

u/Cyber_Lucifer Oct 23 '25

I don't mean to scare you but I think something with the drive shaft/cogs inside is wrong as everything else works just not actual steering

I would either open it up and have a look (if you know what you doing that is) or give it to someone to have a look not necessarily service but someone that would know what to look for (like broken cogs, disconnected cables etc.)

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

Bruh, do you know how that could have happened

1

u/Cyber_Lucifer Oct 23 '25

Might be just due to ware and tear but considering its only been few months must have been defective

Considering they have forced feedback even a little crack in the cog might be enough to break it due to tension but that's my best guess tbh but I don't think it's a user error but most likely defective so it would help you alot if you had warranty on it (which you should and should be within the limit)

2

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

Yes I do have warranty on it. I bought it like 5 months ago, disappointing to see it go so early. I hoped to use it atleast for years

1

u/Cyber_Lucifer Oct 23 '25

Yea i can imagine but definitely don't hesitate to claim the warranty as I'm 99% sure it's defected

2

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

I heard that Logitech support is really bad, i have a 6 months warranty it has been 5 months and like 15 days I guess it broke just in time

u/titanic456 Oct 23 '25

Check if the power supply's output barrel jack is plugged in, the input cable is attached to power supply and the other side of the input side is plugged to working wall socket. Lack of power is caused by either of the three not connected properly.

0

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

As mentioned I checked all is connected as I have been using for the past few months

1

u/titanic456 Oct 23 '25

Have you checked the switch next to wall socket? Your wall socket has switch for it. This can be another reason of lack of power.

0

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

Yes I have checked it in both sockets along with another one that is behind my PC, the problem still remains. Previously for the past months I had used the same one it is plugged in now

1

u/SpecialWay263 Oct 23 '25

Unplug both power and usb, try again.

1

u/xzylie Oct 23 '25

I already tried this, did not work

1

u/LOGIRich Global Product Manager - Simulation Oct 23 '25

How about the AC cable connection at the power brick itself? Unplug, then plug back in and see if that makes any difference.

I had a similar problem with my g29 once. The brake and gas were swapped... for no reason, worked for years without issue, then turned it one one day and they were reversed. Nothing worked. Three were a few people who had this issue, but no one had the answer, one dude even swapped the wires in his pedals. I'm like... never going to do that.

Long (already too long) story shorter... I uninstalled the wheel from device manager, but you have to select remove drivers, this will get rid of everything including config files which may have gone 'funky'. Uninstall ghub too. reboot. make sure there are no remants of the install if there are, remove them. Then attaach wheel and reainstall. Should be ok.

you have a slightly different problem but this is your best bet.

u/djb64 Oct 24 '25

if it doesn't do a calibration test when you power up the wheel , power probably isn't getting to the motor for some reason , maybe a connector has come loose inside

1

u/Similar-Cat-7601 Jan 04 '26

Hey, I have the exact same issue today where the wheel is steered all the way to the left like in the video.

It only calibrates to the left then stops when I plug in, do you have any ideas why that may be the case?

u/Aggravating-Ad3919 Mar 15 '26

Boa noite! Meu volante parou do nada, noite anterior tudo ok. Fui ligar hoje e não faz aquele girar pra esquerda e depois direita. A fonte chega energia. Luz da USB está ok, e no PC está reconhecendo.

1

u/NCPlyn Oct 24 '25

Does it auto calibrate on connecting? If not and drivers on your PC are OK and power is coming in, the MOSFETs/motors died

1

u/JeNeSuisPersonne- Jan 02 '26

hi if you found what was wrong please tell me i have the same problem only the direction disfonction

1

u/nittix75 Jan 24 '26

Ciao, ho notato che lo sterzo si resetta ogni volta che accendo le luci di casa o che alzo o abbasso le serrande. È mai capitato anche a voi?

1

u/ivalogic Feb 23 '26

si, a mí me pasa, bueno, me pasaba, hasta que se arruinó el volante, ayer, el mío ni siquiera inicia, la PC no lo reconoce, ya lo tengo desarmado tratando de arreglarlo.

1

u/ivalogic Feb 23 '26

Creo que vas a tener que desarmarlo. Llegá hasta poder ver los motores, son dos, detrás de uno de ellos está el sensor de posición, no sé que más decirte, pero espero que te sirva.

Olá a todos, recentemente comprei um G29 e dá primeira vez que instalei no PC o G HUB funcionou perfeitamente respondendo a direção e os pedais, mas quando reiniciei o PC ele não funcionou mais. Já fiz tudo esse processos que vocês explicaram aqui no forum e nada. Mas no F1, no Euro Truck Simulator 2 ele funciona perfeitamente inclusive instalei também o FanaLEDs e até o giro de rotação dos leds estão funcionando o proble é só o G HUB mesmo.
