You need to start checking the switches for continually of the voltage, you will need a voltmeter.

Ask the friend if it did that when he had it. Wondering if the pedal switch could be causing the issue or if the remote is interfering. Try taking the batteries out of the remote and see what happens. Let me know.

It must be a newer model, this is one of the sites I used. They didn’t have anything matching your modelswitches. You should try contacting the manufacturer .

Try opening the switch there should be springs on the inside, they usually get broken. But being a new vehicle I wouldn’t expect them to be bad.

What brand and model tractor is it ?

Ok so we know the battery is good, did the lights come on after the power button is pressed.The voltage goes from the battery to the fuse then to the power switch if the car has one. From the power to the forward/ reverse switch( then High/low if it has one) then the pedal switch. If any of those are bad it won’t move.

Check the fuses thermal/fuses

Avohra1985 check all fuses

Do you have access to Ebay they have plenty on there.

Probably it’s a bad forward switch it will be under the shifter or on the dashboard. You can find a replacement online, eBay or Amazon.

The photos didn’t come through here are an example of forward reverse switches

One thing that I do when I have tried everything else and can’t find a solution. When all else fails you can run one wire from the motor directly to the battery, then go from the other-battery tab to the foot pedal on one side of the switch pin. Then from the other pin side go to the motor. It will only work in forward or reverse not both. If you connect it and it going in reverse just switch the wires at the battery. If it doesn’t move at all then the foot switch is bad.

Check on the wires coming from the battery to the charger port and look for bad ,corroded or broke connection. I had a similar problem with a ride-on and the connection where the charger plugged into built up corrosion and couldn’t make contact.

What is the make and model of the truck I’ll try to find a wiring diagram. It could be the relay by at this point that’s just a guess Normally for future help it’s easier to take a pic of any wiring switches.

Great these cars are an expensive toy and any rain or washing them can cause problems. Most of the time it’s one of the switches along the way. I always tell people to drill as many drain holes as possible.

Can be a number of things first you need to do is check the battery, you’ll need a voltmeter. It should read 6 volts plus or 12 volts plus depending which battery you have. Then check the charger to make sure it’s putting out enough volts to charge the battery. If both are ok then you need to test the forward reverse switch, then the pedal switch. Also the power on/off switch. The current goes from the battery to the on/off switch if your vehicle has one, then to the forward /reverse switch then to the pedal switch. If the car has been sitting up for two years it’s probably the battery.

Ok if this is the switch you’re talking about , just unplug it and turn the switch around and then plug it back in.

First using a voltmeter test the charger and battery to make sure they are working. Then you will have to track the voltage from the battery to the on/off switch. From there it goes to the forward/ reverse switch and then to the pedal switch. Let me know what reading you get on the charger and battery.

If the battery and charger is working check see if goes to power switch then to forward/switch

Then it has to be a bad switch if that’s the spot where thr voltage stops.

Does it have a remote control or is it manually? Check all the wiring make sure you have good connections. Is the on/off button stuck, could be part of the problem make sure the button pushes on and off. Try spraying some WW-40. on it . If the button doesn’t push in or out try unplugging the battery wait about a minute then plug it back in.

Ok mis read your reply you said there is power at the power switch but nothing at the plug to the pedal Then I would test the forward reverse switch. The power goes from the battery thru the fuse then to the on/off power switch then to forward / reverse switch then to the pedal.

I am wondering if the pedal switch can be bad is there power to the switch ?

Thank you very much.

I don’t think it will work that way, because each pin is in series with the pin on the side of each other. You may try it by hooking up two of the wires next to each other.

I have tried every supplier I deal with and they don’t have any 3 tab switches. If you take apart the switch it’s probably one or two of the springs inside that are broke. That is why they quit working, you may be able to find new springs to fit at a hardware or Ace store

Power wheels, peg prego, National, ?

What is the makers name ?

Do you have access to a 6 or 12 v motorcycle or car charger ? You can take the batteries out and charge them separately.

Tap on pic to enlarge.

The image below shows you the correct way, if your still having issues let me know.

Did you test the batteries before installing they should arrive fully charged, but I would double check.

The other issue may be the two connections red/black wires may be to be connected to each other.

Yes it should be connected at the battery.

Are you sure you reconnected the batteries correctly when you replaced them.

If you are handy with tools it is cheaper to repair and repaint rather then buying a new ride on. Does the child still fit this car or is it time to get a larger ride on. If your handy with tools you will need to test the battery using a voltmeter. Also test the charger to see if it is putting out the correct voltage, you probably have a 6 volt battery. It should read 6 plus volts fully charged and the charger should be putting out 6 plus voltage.Let me know which direction you choose to go and I can help you find a new battery or charger.

Check the connections where the charger plugs into the port on the vehicle. If there is any corrosion it will prevent the batteries from charging.

Ok this seems to be a new model and I am not finding a lot of parts for it. If you or if you have someone handy with tools can take the shifter section out.Then we can see if it’s all in one or separate switches (that’s what we are hoping they are separate. You can also contact the online company i sent you a link to to see if they have or know who may have a replacement if it’s all in one.

Ok see if you can send me the model number of the car ? Looking at the pictures looks like it may be all in one switch.

It’s possible the power switch or the fuse/thermal fuse is bad, check those two and let me know what happens.

The switch is should be on the dashboard ., The fuse should be connected close to the battery. If you take pics of the car and send it to me I can help you I.d. them.

Take a picture of the forward switch and send it to me

There are a few possibilities, first test the charger and battery for correct voltages. If both are ok check the fuse/thermal fuse. Let me know what you find out.

First you need to check the charger and battery with a volt meter. If the charger is not putting out the correct voltage it won’t charge the battery. If the charger is correct and the battery isn’t taking a charge then it’s bad. If both read good then the problem is the vehicle.

Fantastic ,I know your granddaughter is going to love it.

Can you take a picture of the battery set -up and the charger port. Sounds like something may not be hooked up correctly.

One thing you should check the two batteries connections you need to connect from (hot) plus terminal to (ground) negative, then red and black wire to vehicle.

Ok sounds good also make sure your battery fully charged should read 12 plus volts. But if it’s working on remote they should be good.

First I. Would check all connections and also test the fuse may be overheating and need to replace. If not the fuse possibly the control board.

Yeah the wiring diagram looks scary, you might be able to google the make and model they may have the diagram online.

That is a strange one you said you checked the foot pedal, that would have been my first guess. Is there a way to override the remote, wondering if it could be blocking the signal for manual riding the car.

Did you check the switch under the pedal, current goes from the battery thru the fuse (?) to the on/off if equipped with one to the foot pedal, then to forward/reverse then to the motors. Any switch or fuse can stop the flow.

Can you put the old motors back on and see if it reacts directly?

First thing to check or replace would be the switch under the pedal

The problem is likely to be the forward switch you should hav two separate switches for forward and reverse. If you can take them out and reverse them then if it goes in forward and not reverse that will show you the bad switch.

Do you have two separate switches for forward/ reverse ? If so try taking the switches out and reverse them. That will tell you if the switch is the problem.

Can you splice two wires onto the good plug connector and run it to the side that doesn’t spin.

Ok sounds like there is an issue with the wiring, does both spin in slow gear? I would open up the body from the bottom up and check all the wiring, also test the charger to make sure it’s putting out correct voltage and that it shuts off when finished charging. Charger could be the cause of the problems.

Not familiar with that adapter but it can be part or just a casualty of over powering the vehicle. That is why I always recommending not increasing the voltage.

The circuit board is the main control and you may have damaged it. Check the switch under the pedal.I may stuck .

Sounds like the charger and battery is good,, I would start checking all the switches and make sure they all of the connections are good. Sometimes they can come loose by bumps, also try raising the back tires off the ground and push the pedal to see if you get any reaction.

Is there a inline fuse/ thermal fuse connected from the battery ? You can bypass it or replace it that can be causing problems. If you have a voltmeter check your can test the voltage across the switches. Power goes from the battery to the on/off switch ( some vehicles doesn’t have on/off ) then to the pedal. From the pedal it goes to forward/ reverse switch then to the motor..

You can put spade connections on the black and and white wires then disconnect the plug on the battery. You can then plug the spade connections into the battery.

Ok the battery fully charged should read 12 plus voltage, just 12 v the battery isn’t fully charged or it is bad. If you have an Auto Zone or O’ Riley’s bring the battery in and ask if they can do a load test. That will give you the best reading, but finish charging it first.

You will need to double check your connections to make sure something is not incorrect.

Can you send me a picture of the battery, the white wire is positive and black is the negative.

Double check the connections are correct .

You have to be losing the voltage between the battery and motors, if possible trace all the wires from the batteries to through switches to the motors. If you turn the car upside down you can get to the wires , with the battery disconnected, and see if any melted from the increase in power.

Normally it’s not a good idea to double the voltage in a ride on. You have to remember all the switches, fuses,and wiring is rated fro 6 volt. You can try getting a universal charger and hook it directly to the battery to charge.But again it is not recommended to increase the voltage.

The thermal fuse/fuse is located connected to the battery. Using a voltmeter set to ohms you should get a very low reading. When in low forward how is it running does it seem normal also how does it run in reverse? If it’s ok in reverse then the forward switch may be bad.

No motors are normally ok but check the charger to make sure it’s putting out correct voltage, two years is about the life span. If the jeep is ridden a lot and you have to continually recharge the battery , that drains the water and power from it.

If the battery is reading 12.58 then the battery is good, check the connections to the motors and make sure they have good connections. Also test the fuse/thermal fuse can be cutting back on the power from the battery.

Thanks, trying to create some good memories he can look back on one day.

Is it only happening with the remote or does it happen without the remote.

Sounds like it could be a control board issue you can look up the manufacturer for a replacement part.

If you tell the exact name and model you have I can send you a link to find a new reverse switch.

If you pull up the foot pedal there will be a off/on switch or plunger switch. For the bike to keep moving it’s either the pedal is stuck open or a bad control board. I would replace the switch first it will only cost about $10 - $15 . If you know how to use a voltmeter you can check the switch for an open circuit.

I would test the battery using a voltmeter, if it 6 volts it should read 6 plus volts. Did you charge the battery when you brought t home the first time. If the battery and charger are both working fine then it could be the wiring connected wrong. Let me know what you find out on the batt

Ok looking at the picture the motors aren’t connected. Also you will need to charge the battery for 8- 12 hours. Try charging the battery then let me know what happens,

Ok first test the battery for 12+ volts using a a volt meter you can get one online for about $5. Also test the charger and make sure it’s putting out 12 volts. Check all connections for any loose wires, check the switch under the pedal, and also the fuse/ thermal fuse. Using a volt meter connect set to ohms hooked as in the drawing.

I used it at full strength on mine, but you can try with it diluted Mix it at different strength until you find what works for you. I have a 2018 Altima and have always used full strength.

Check the or replace the fuse/thermal fuse, it can be overheating causing the voltage loss to the wheels. When you raise it up and press the pedal there is less weight dragging on the wheels/ motors.

It could be a couple of possible issues , check to see if the switch under the pedal may be bad or stuck pressed in.The low speed switch can also be bad and needs to be replaced. If those two are good then it could be a problem with the motherboard.
