So my steering wheel turned off yesterday.

Uh, your video game steering wheel, right? Uh, you know, not as much. Oh, you're not a racing wheel guy anyway, right? I, I have one sitting over here. Oh. Just, just in case. The last time I dusted it off was when probably, I don't know, I subscribed to I racing for like two years and played with some friends every night during the pandemic things were weird I was once told one should not buy a racing wheel

Does it have its own governance, one would hope? So it connects to the steering wheel parts. It's the steering wheel part that turns the car is a mechanical linkage to the to the wheels.

Good.

Check.

Um, so that part still worked.

The horn, simple circuit.

So it'll work no matter what still work.

The turn signals, the shifter,ifter the windshield wipers all of that stuff
