Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel for Xbox 360 Logo
Abby Pender Posted on Oct 15, 2014

My Microsoft Racing Wheel keeps disconnecting

It connects but then once I press a button it disconnects. It also disconnects if I go full throttle. I have tried calling Microsoft to see if they can repair it but they said that it is too old to repair.

Yeah thats an old one and i had one at once but i did not have a problem with mine, it sounds like a short in the wheel or you have a power issue. Are you using the rechargeable battery pack or the wall AC power plug? you may have a bad battery pack or wall plug is what i am saying. but this is an obsolete device you may have to find one cheap and see if it does the same thing as well..


Move the racing wheel closer to the
console.
• Make sure the AC power supply is plugged
in or, if you're using batteries, that the
batteries are fresh.

• Keep the console and racing wheel at least
three feet away from large metal objects,
such as file cabinets and refrigerators.

• Metallic decorations or stickers on the
console or racing wheel can interfere
with racing wheel performance. Remove
decorations and try connecting again.

• Make sure the front of the console is
positioned in the direction of the racing
wheel and away from nearby walls.

• Cordless phones (2.4 GHz), wireless LANs,
wireless video transmitters, microwave
ovens, some mobile/cell phones, and
Bluetooth headsets can interfere with the
operation of the racing wheel. Turn these
off or unplug them and try reconnecting
them.

• If you're using batteries and nothing else
works, turn off your console, remove and
reinsert the AA batteries or Xbox 360
Rechargeable Battery Pack into the racing
wheel, and then repeat the steps given in
"Connect Your Racing Wheel."

SOURCE: If my xbox controller is more than 5 ft. from xbox it disconnects

First you can try to make sure there are no electonics causeing the problem, after that try using 4 wireless controllers, see if that works, if it doesnt, call microsoft and tell them to fix it for free.

Why does my xbox steering wheel just blink green and won;t connect

Your wheel needs to be synced. Press the sync button (it has 3 arrows on it) on the xbox360. Then press and hold the sync button on the wheel (lower right, next to the green light, also has 3 arrows on it), for about 3 seconds, then release. This should get you synced right up. :)

Wireless keeps losing disconnecting my controller. I'll be using it and every 30 secs it loses signal then reconnects..

If you have something that uses certain frequencies (microwaves do this A LOT), it can interfere with the signal to the xbox. Another reason that may cause this is something is blocking the Infra red sensor on the xbox itself, make sure you have a clear view from the controller to the 360.

Connect the power cable and turn on the printer.

Racing wheel setup

OK, at least for my issues, after talking to MS support ...

Here was the issue with the Setup disc (Forza Demo): If it jumps into the demo ... the XBOX DOES NOT need to be updated.

As for not connecting to the XBOX (Sync'ing up the controllers) ...

You need to press the SYNC (located by the memory card slots)Button BEFORE you PRESS the SYNC button on the wheel controller. Once you do that (a step that is not clearly pointed out in the stupid an poorly written manual) all worked asa expected. A Simple hook-up procedeure that took 2 days because of a step that was not pointed out or not made obvious to the XBox Parents and non users.

Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 5000 keeps opening and closing the windows start menu once connected

Did you try the following.
Normal 0 Press the Receiver button (and the lights will start flashing.
Then if the Keyboard isn't working, press the small RESET/CONNECT button on the back of the board to connect the keyboard to the receiver.

If the MOUSE isn’t working, push the small RESET/CONNECT button on the back of the mouse to connect to the receiver. Then they should work okay.
Hope this helps. Bud
