Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals - Short out of power

[adamcboyd]

I have the Pro Flight pedals (silver ones) and when I slide my left foot to the max extension on the left, the power light surges and throws off all my yaw(s). I popped out into the Windows device tester for it and it is now around 70% left pressure on the rudder assembly without even touching it.

 

Rebooting resets it but as soon as I go left.....fzzzzzt....short and then makes my yaw all whackey. Anyone seen this? I can't find diddly on this specific issue.

 

Any help would be appreciated. If anyone can help me, this forum can.

Its a short of some kind either a trapped wire or the pot has gone, you have 2 choices either open them and see if you can see a trapped wire or get a new set.

The Saitek x55 has been having problems with ghost button presses upon moving the throttle. Many have found that using a powered usb hub or making sure that the throttle is plugged into a usb 3.0 slot solves the problem implying that the device is not receiving enough power.

 

Although your problem sounds unrelated since the pedals are a much simpler device, It could be and low power issue.
