My Wii Steering Wheel Will Not Steer

The Wii Wheel is an accessory for the Nintendo Wii video game system that combines with the regular Wii remote to simulate a driving experience. It acts as an add-on for the Wii remote and is operated like a regular steering wheel. If you encounter a problem with your Wii Wheel, there are steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem yourself before contacting Nintendo technical support or having the wheel professionally repaired or replaced.

Things You'll Need

2 AA batteries
Game manual
Soft cloth

Instructions

- 1
  Read the game manual for the game you are trying to play and look for a statement that the game is compatible with the Wii Wheel. If the game is incompatible, you can't use the wheel with the game.
