CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
If the battery indicator gauge does not light up when you turn on the power:
νCheck the harness connections. Make sure they are tight.
νCheck the circuit breaker. Reset it, if necessary, by pushing down the circuit breaker button.
νCheck the battery connections.
If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the batteries with a battery load tester. These testers are available at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before load testing and follow the directions that come with the load tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your Jet 1 still does not power up, contact your authorized Pride provider.
