    In this video I'm going to show you how I fixed "No Steering Wheel Attached to Base" error and how you can prevent this in the future. Wheel disconnects could be a sign of a loose shaft.

    Legend! Just experienced this issue - I have been doing driver repairs and nothing. This was the exact issue, I change my wheel often so the pulling back and forth , dislodged a bit. Much thanks - Fanatec should have a light code that flashed to tell that it needs pushed back 'home' 💚

    Legend. I literally lost a race I was leading when I lost FFB and ended in the wall. Did the usual remove wheel from base (But did not check shaft). Jump into next race where I'm leading again and literally in the last corner it went again. I was going slow enough that it did not cost me the race.

    Glad it fixed your issue.
    I have had the same problem, but with the Podium DD1. At first, it happened with my WRC wheel but never with my F1 wheel. I thought it was an issue with the wheel but didnt bother to contact support. I tried to figure out when it was happening but it seems to happen when I "brake hard, downshift and turn right". Very wierd I thought.
    I got a McLaren GT3 wheel for christmas and the same thing started to happen with that. Both problem wheels uses the plastic Quick Release and the F1 wheel uses the metal one.
    Then, a few days I go I noticed that when it got disconnected, I could push it in and it would start to work! After that I try to not pull the wheel but instead try to push it a little. Since then I have not had any issues at all.
    My theory is that when I brake hard, downshift and turn, I pull the wheel towards me and the wheel is not attached so hard so it makes it come out abit and the pins inside disconnects.
    All in all, I like my Fanatec stuff, pedals, shifter etc, but I am a little dissapointed in this cheaper plastic QR. Maybe I will buy the metal QR and exchage it, but I'm not sure.
    Hopefully this (and your video ofcourse) can help other with similar problems.

      man I have the exact same issue right now . Wanted to build up my fanatec podium f1 today, i tested for like an hour, everything worked well, but then i showed the wheel is disconnected. I did every firmware update but nothing worked. So its a problem with the wheel, did you managed to solve it ?

    • @tuxdapen
      @tuxdapen 2 роки тому

      @@ogrroyalty5875 Well, I "solved" it the way that I described above. For me it disconnects due to the fact taht I pull it towards me and the wheel gets disconnected from the pins. It is just not tight enough.

    • @randy4903
      @randy4903 2 роки тому
