T3PA gas pedal failure

Looking for any suggestions here. The other day I went to use my T300RS wheel & the gas pedal had stopped working. It sort of half worked then died on the spot. I noticed that the mode button had went green instead of red. I then did a reboot & it went back to red above the ps4/3 mode button. Still nothing. Tried various games checked it within controls panel on a laptop.

I tried using a guy's YouTube video carefully opening them up & cleaning the potentiometer with some lubricated circuit switch spray & put everything back together. Still nothing.

Any ideas?

My T3PA gas pedal started squeaking this last week or so, and continues to squeak periodically. Still works fine, but hope this isn’t a bad sign to come. I’d rather not try lubricating anything for fear of ruining the pentometer so I guess I’ll just deal with it. Thankfully using headphones drowns out the squeak for the most part.

Sorry I don’t have a solution for the OP.

I managed to get it to work by swapping around inputs at the circuit board for the gas & clutch pedals then reversing their controls on the base with the mode button.

Looks like I've maybe got a damaged USB connection but I've strengthened it & can live w/out a clutch.

The hinge where the squeak occurs is well away from the potentiometers so you won't interfere with them at all. Take the base off and you will see - just go carefully as you remove the base as there is a short connecting cable you need to unplug as the base comes off. It is a very easy fix.
