CSL Elite wheelbase lights turning off immediately after start up

I was testing out my CSL elite wheelbase the other day despite having a broken brake pedal, and all was working well until I wanted to try out Fanalab.
I first installed v328 drivers for the CSL elite as that was recommended on the product page. Fanalab required v352 so I found the beta drivers and installed v365. I rebooted my computer to finalise the driver install and after suddenly the lights on the wheelbase and steering wheel turned off. I could still slightly hear some noise coming from the wheelbase, it might have been the fans. There was also still some resistance when turning the wheel, so it felt like the FFB was still on or something, just the lights weren't on and the buttons on the wheel weren't working either.
I uninstalled the v365 drivers and reinstalled v328 but I still can't get it to work.
Any idea what I've done and if I can fix it?

Did you upgrade/downgrade the motor firmware along with the drivers?
I didn’t even know that was a thing. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction on how to do so?

I've just made sure both the motor firmware and wheelbase firmware are both the latest now.
It's telling me the wheelbase is version 630 and the motor firmware is version 18. PC driver is v328 however that seems to be the latest official driver I believe at least. Still having the same problem of the wheelbase and steering wheel lights turning off though, and not being able to use either in any games. I can see from the wheel property page that the buttons are kind of working though, when I press down on them a blue dot shows up.
