Steering Wheel Glitch

I had an odd issue where on one of these when you started the game with the gas pedal the steering would stop working. If I unplugged the usb cable for the steering and plugged it back in it would start working again. Once the race was over if I started a game with the start button everything would work again. My other NFS GT cabinet did not have the issue and it turned out to be the USB card. I was plugging the USB cabled directly into the computer because I did not have a spare. This is what I ordered and the problem went away:

Leader light always on

For some reason on one of the machines the leader light was always on so I swapped a known working I/O card and the problem went away. Likely there is a short on the surface mount chip that controls that function however I have not had time to identify where that may be.
