Magic Trackpad - no haptic feedback

Question

A few days after installing Mojave, I've lost haptic feedback.

Everything works except for the feedback.

How I tried to resolve it:

Made sure "Force Click and haptic feedback" is checked, also tried to uncheck it, check again
Turned the trackpad on and off using the switch
Hardwired the trackpad to my iMac
Restarted my iMac
Connected to it to my MacBook Pro

Nothing works.

Any suggestions?

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS Mojave (10.14), Samsung U28D590

Finally managed to solve this.

Open the terminal
cd Library/Preferences
rm com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.plist com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad.plist
Reboot
Turn OFF the trackpad
Turon ON the trackpad
SOLVED

I tried these steps without turning the trackpad on and off - didn't work.

I tried turning the **** thing off and on without deleting the plists - didn't work.

Well this is annoying...

This works for a short while, and then haptic feedback goes away again.

Turning it off and on again works sporadically.

Definitely a Mojave issue, if it was a hardware issue, it wouldn't have worked at all.
