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 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.
Tripped thermal fuse The built-in thermal fuse in the battery 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 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
