Default Hail Mary for my sustain pedal.

This is a long shot since I don't know your hardware, but have you tried
to see if your sustain pedal is working backwards? Some pedals are
normally off, some are normally on, and some have a switch. Same for
some keyboards. If your pedal is normally off and the keyboard thinks
that normal is with the switch on, it will act like it's not working.
Could be that something got switched the wrong way.

Check the manual for the keyboard to see if there's a setting that will
swap the response to the pedal. I know of one keyboard, though I'm not
sure what model it is, that if you hold the pedal down when powering up
the keyboard, it will set itself so that it responds to the pedal down
whether it's normally off or normally on.
