Brand New Shifter not detecting H-pattern

Hey guys, I finally was to finish my rig this afternoon. I was so excited to get started. Got everything calibrated, did some tuning in AC and was having a great time. I noticed that when I launched the Fanatec Control Panel that pretty much all my hardware needed a firmware update. I proceeded.
After everything was finished I jumped right back into AC but this time the H-pattern wasn't working. I switched to the sequential shifter and everything seemed to be working fine. I jumped back into the Fanatec Control Panel and everything was detecting besides the H-pattern.
I deleted the Fanatec drivers, Fanalab and Fanatec Control Panel and started over with everything. Same, thing as before, everything was being detected besides the H-pattern. I've tried to calibrate the shifter but no luck.
Is anything else I could try? I might of gotten about 25 mins in the shifter in H-pattern before I updated the firmware.
I'm running:
PC Driver v415
CSL DD
Wheel BaseFirmware v1.0.3.2
Wheel Base Motor Firmware v1.0.1.3
Podumiu Hub - Firmware v6
Wireless Quick Release - Firmware v6.0.0.1
CS Pedals v3 - Firmware v1.32
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to give this a shot before contacting support. Thanks

It's probably a hardware failure - the shifter mode is determined by a microswitch that is actuated by the position of the slider - open is sequential. Either the switch is faulty or more likely the wires connecting it broke.
Have you tried this?
Read the bottom part of the thread. I had the same issue with the H-Pattern. Detaching the shifter from my wheel stand for the calibration and putting it back afterwards made it work for me. It seems to be some electromagnetic interference thing
Yes, I have. No luck. I've even tried another cable. I think it might be time to get ahold of support.
Ryan did you manage to sort this? My CSL DD has arrived today and I have the exact same issue. Sequential recognized but not h-pattern. I had been using my shifter issue free for months before today
