Logitech G29 Driving Force: Logitech G29 calibrates by turning hard left (-450°) on startup but is

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:28:08 -0700

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Logitech G29 (approximately 5 years old).

When I power it on, it does not perform the normal startup calibration (left → right → center). Instead, it immediately turns hard to the left (approximately -450°) and stops.

Here is what I have already tested:

The wheel is detected correctly in Windows (joy.cpl).
The wheel is detected correctly in Logitech G HUB.
The steering axis is centered correctly (50%) when the wheel is physically centered.
All buttons work normally.
I tested it on both PC (Forza Horizon) and PS4 (Gran Turismo 7), and the same issue occurs.
I tried different USB ports and different power outlets.
I reinstalled G HUB.
I downgraded G HUB to the March 2021 version and also tested the latest version.
The firmware is up to date.
The issue remains exactly the same.

There is no visible physical damage to the wheel.

Could this be caused by a faulty encoder wheel/position sensor, the force feedback motor, or the main PCB?

Has anyone experienced the same issue and successfully repaired it?

Thank you!

Logitech G29 Driving Force: Why does one button on my wheel activate all the others and disconnect

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 21:56:53 -0700

When pressing either the X or square button on my g29 as they are the only buttons that work (although the steering pedals and gear shifter work as usual) on the steering wheel. Once pressed it shows as if multiple buttons are pressed although you are only pressing the one and the wheel disconnects and recalibrates. Any help is appreciated!

Logitech G29 Driving Force: Why is my steering wheel constantly disconnecting

I have a g29 that I have had since Christmas of 2022 in November of 2025 it started disconnecting randomly and I wanted to know how to fix it so I watched a video that told me to tape over the end of the ground wire of all three pedals and It didn’t work I don’t want to have to take apart the wheel or the pedals again but I really don’t want to be forced to buy a new one

Logitech G29 Driving Force: Sizes of internal screw

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 01:31:31 -0700

Hi,

I tried to dismantle steering wheel and during that operation I managed to destroy head of one of those internal screws as shown in the picture. I'd like to buy replacement screw but I am unable to identify thread. It looks steeper than usual ones. So I am looking for exact type of this screw. The original seems to be from not very strong zink one, the metal is super soft. I'd like to replace it with stainless steal one.

I am talking about screws as shown here in the Ifixit guide:

This is photo of the screws after I managed to get it finally out after the head got destroyed.

Can someone identify the screw pls?

Thanks

Logitech G27: The steering wheel on my Logitech G27 stopped working

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 19:16:52 -0700

Hi, how's it going? I need help. I used my Logitech G27 on my PlayStation 3, and out of nowhere, from one day to the next, the steering wheel, pedals, and everything else stopped working. The only thing that doesn't work is the steering wheel itself. It doesn't turn when I turn it. I don't know what it could be. I'd like to fix this so I can use it on my PC today. Any information would be helpful. I'm from Argentina.

Logitech g293: The wheel stutters on calibration and is unresponsive afterwards

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 09:43:39 -0700

As the title suggests the wheel is unresponsive to any movement. I've already replaced the power supply, but still no luck. Basicallly what happens is after connecting it to a powersupply it tries to calibrate, then stutters, and finally becomes unresponsive.

The pedals and buttons of the wheel work flawless.

Logitech Driving Force GT E-X5C19: Force feedback just stopped working

Sat, 08 Mar 2025 02:27:36 -0700

So, I have a Logitech DFGT wheel that has been working without any problems for a few years now. Today, randomly FFB just stopped working, I tried reconnecting it and etc., but zero response. The power brick works, we tested it. Wheel gets detected by the computer, testing shows that all the buttons work, port for power also works. Tried reinstalling the software, didn’t help. The only problem is FFB. Any ideas where should I start looking?
