12 VOLT TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
Battery not properly
connected.
Battery low or dead.
Battery dead.
Accelerator switch not
operating properly.
Motor wire disconnected.
Shifter wires disconnected.
Vehicle has too much load.
Battery is low or near end of
life.
Battery is low.
Vehicle is in low or reverse.
Motor wire is disconnected.
Shifter wire disconnected.
Bad shifter switch.
High Speed is in the "lock-out"
position.
Motor wire is disconnected.
Shifter wire disconnected.
Bad shifter switch.
Automatic Circuit Breaker has
tripped because of over
loading.
Accelerator switch not
connected properly.
Gears are stripping.
Battery is being charged.
Not enough weight on rear
wheels.
Motor wire is disconnected.
Accelerator switch not
connected properly.
Bad accelerator switch
SOLUTIONS:
Install battery per instructions. Make sure blue battery plug is connected to
black vehicle system plug.
Chargers with indicator light - Plug charger into outlet. Green light should be
on. Plug black charger plug into blue battery plug, green light should go out or
turn orange (depending on the charger) to indicate charging. Light will turn
green gradually as the battery reaches full charge.
The battery life is limited. As the battery ages it will begin to loose capacity
or runtime. The overall life of the battery is maximized with proper care.
Always charge the battery after each use. Do not store the battery in a
discharged state.
Check accelerator switch operation - Remove Accelerator plate from toy.
Remove the blue wire from switch, remove red wire and place it on the
terminal that had the blue wire. If vehicle runs, then accelerator switch
needs to be replaced. Order accelerator plate. Check accelerator switch wire
locations- See solution for "Accelerator switch not connected properly"
below.
Motor wire check - Place vehicle in low speed. Raise rear wheels off the
ground and turn one rear wheel. The other rear wheel should turn in the
opposite direction. If other wheel does not turn, then you may have a motor
wire off. Reconnect motor wire.
Check wires on shifter connector block.
Reduce the load on the vehicle. Too much weight, steep slopes, thick grass,
sand, etc or any combination of these conditions can overload the vehicle
causing reduced runtime.
See solution for "Battery low or dead" above.
See solution for "Battery low or dead" above.
This is normal when in low speed or reverse because the wheels act like an
automotive differential. This makes turning easier. If one wheel is stalled or
stopped the other wheel gets all the power. Shift to high speed to get full
power to both wheels.
See solution for "Motor wire disconnected" above.
Check wires on shifter connector block.
Replace shifter switch.
Remove the High Speed "lock-out".
See solution for "Motor wire disconnected" on reverse side.
Check wires on shifter connector block.
Replace shifter switch.
Reduce the load on the vehicle. Too much weight, steep slopes,
thick grass, sand, etc or any combination of these conditions can
overload the vehicle.
Check accelerator switch wire locations. Remove foot board by prying with a
screw-driver at its base. The wiring sequence is red, white and blue from the
front of vehicle to the back of vehicle.
Replace motor/ gearbox assembly.
It is normal for some batteries to make some noise during charging. No
action is needed.
Add more weight to vehicle.
See solution for "Motor wire disconnected"
Check accelerator switch wire locations.
See solution for "Accelerator switch not connected properly" above.
Replace accelerator plate.
