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 |
|
|
| 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 charger connector, 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Wrong type or improperly installed fuse | Make sure that the battery has a properly installed |
|
|
| Power Wheels® 25 amp fuse before charging. For best |
|
|
| performance, do not use substitute parts. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Blown fuse | Make sure that the fuse in the battery is in good |
|
|
| condition. Remove the fuse from the battery and make |
|
|
| sure it is not blown. Replace a blown fuse with a |
|
|
| Power Wheels® 25 amp fuse. For best performance, do not |
|
|
| use substitute parts. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Loose wire or loose connectors | Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery |
|
|
| connector is tightly plugged into the motor harness |
|
|
| connector, and that there are no loose wires around the |
|
|
| motors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Dead battery | 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 is dead, you can have |
|
|
| it tested at your local Power Wheels® authorized |
|
|
| service center. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Electrical switch damage | The electrical switches can become corroded due to |
|
