PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Vehicle was running but

suddenly stopped

Loose wire or loose connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor

harness connector is plugged into the battery, and

that there are no loose wires around the motors.

Tripped thermal fuse The built-in thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down

operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded

or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse

has “tripped”, remove your foot from the pedal and

wait approximately 25 seconds before operating

the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic

shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding

the 130 lbs. (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by

towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up

hills or run into  xed 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.

Short run time (Less than

1 - 3 hours per charge)

Undercharged battery Charge the battery. A new battery should have been

charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle

for the  rst time. After  rst-time use, recharge the

battery for at least 14 hours after each use. Never

charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the

charger connector is plugged into the battery, and

that the charger is plugged into the wall.

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

Overcharged battery Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If

you suspect that your battery is damaged as a result

of overcharging, contact your local Power Wheels

authorized service center. They can test your battery

for you.

Battery is old and will not accept

full charge

Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does

not last forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years

depending on vehicle use and use conditions.

Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels

12 volt battery. Do not substitute parts.
