Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

 

 

 

Vehicle does not run

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been

 

 

charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for

 

 

the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for

 

 

at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery

 

 

longer than 30 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector is

 

 

tightly plugged into the battery, and that the charger is

 

 

plugged into the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.

 

 

 

 

Charger is not working

There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless

 

 

you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with

 

 

your charger, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized

 

 

service center. They can test your charger for you.

 

 

 

 

Tripped thermal fuse

Each Power Wheels® 12 volt battery has a built-in thermal

 

 

fuse. A thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of

 

 

the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving

 

 

conditions too severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself

 

 

after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to

 

 

resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic

 

 

shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the

 

 

65 lb maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind

 

 

the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fixed objects,

 

 

which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power

 

 

is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse

 

 

continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized

 

 

service center.

 

 

 

 

Loose wire or loose connectors

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor

 

 

harness connector is tightly plugged into the battery and that

 

 

there are no loose wires around the motors.

 

 

 

 

Dead batteries

If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery

 

 

Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are

 

 

unsure whether or not the battery are dead, you can have

 

 

them tested at your local Power Wheels® authorized

 

 

service center.

 

 

 

 

Electrical switch damage

The electrical switches can become corroded due to

 

 

exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt,

 

 

sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels® authorized

 

 

service center for diagnosis and repair.

 

 

 

 

Motor damage

Contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service center

 

 

for diagnosis and repair.
