Help Please! Pedals Disconnected

Hi there, this is driving me nuts, so I really hope someone can help me:

In brief: I mainly play Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, using all-Fanatec Hardware. Here's an important bit: I only use Apple Mac and have absolutely NO access to PC! My CSL pedals LC, have stopped working completely and no pedal inputs are recognised. They are connected to my Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base (8 Nm).

How it happened: The light on my wheel base kept dimming, and the steering kept disconnecting. Here's where I think I went wrong: I thought it was most likely to be a sudden bad connection, or my foot may have accidentally dislodged a cable. So I removed cables from the back of the wheel base – whilst the system was ON! That's where I think I made the problem.

Everything seemed fine, so I just turned everything on and off a couple of times, and continued jiggling wires, looking for something loose. I found the culprit: The three-point power lead, had only slightly come out of its socket on the large transformer. When I replaced it and switched everything back on; neither the wheel or the pedals worked.

Since repeating the 'turning off and on' exercise, the steering wheel has now come back on, but the pedals haven't.

AGAIN: I do not have PC and cannot update Firmware or drivers. I never needed these when when I bought the gear and did the original set up; it all plugged in and played perfectly from scratch, with no need for drivers. Please help!
