I've had the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Wheel since August, and the two buttons on the wheel stopped working recently. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what could be wrong? <remove 7of9 for email replies> -- Bill Jones e-mail addresses: (860) 437-5650 WWW: http://pages.cthome.net/billj

I don't know if TM ever changed the design on the NASCAR Pro, I just sent mine in after a year for problems with the buttons. I hope they have a new design. The shaft of the wheel has a slot with sharp edges, the wiring to the buttons runs through it. As the wheel is turn fully in either direction the metal rubs on the wiring, and it eventually will wear through. I would suggest contacting Thrustmaster and get a RMA or a repair kit.

Wow! This is weird. I too have had the same problem just recently. Ever since GPL in fact. I saw the wheel back-n-forth so much I assume I severed the wires. I plan on going back to CompUSA buying another, then returning the old, hehe works everythime

another thing that can cause the buttons to quit is if the***is too tight and bottoms out in the shaft, it can squash the wires. Either way, you need to take the wheel apart and resotter.
