Could be a bad battery, if you have access to a regular 12 volt charger. You can raise the two back tires off the ground and connect the charger where the battery would have plugged in. You made need a screws or nails to reach the terminals inside the plug. This will give you something to attach the charger to.If it works you will need a new battery.

Thanks always looking for new tricks or add ons for old tricks.

Sounds like the switches may be bad. Forward / reverse switch and fast/ slow switch can be bad. If you can get to the high low switch and pull it out and turn the switch and put it back in. If it then goes only slow you will need to change that switch.If you do the same with the forward /reverse switch pull it out and turn the switch and replug it plug it. If it then only goes in reverse you will need to replace it. The switches can be found online, eBay Amazon, etc.

Yes that is definitely the motherboard it could be a burnt diode. Since it’s new I would return it for another. Did you charge the batteries when you brought it home ?

Did you or someone else put it together, sounds like the r/c steering box may have been installed or wired incorrectly.. You may need to contact customer service for help. What brand and model is it ? You can check out the video below. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t_EynQipyZo

Cool let know let me know the make and model also.

Is it brand new or an older model. Brand new something may not be connected correctly.

First thing you need to try is raising the two back tires off the ground. Press the pedal and see if they turn.If they do it could be the battery, test the battery with a volt meter. It should read 6 plus volts or 12 plus volts. If you can tell me where the noise is coming from bad motor or bad motherboard.

Yes change both by try the speed switch first if that solves it you will have a spare pedal switch.

One of the problems with these cars the battery chargers go bad and don’t turn them self’s off. If you can get the two rear tires off the ground and use a good working charger and connect it to the cars power plug. The plug is the one that plugs into the battery. If you hook it up and everything works that will mean the battery is bad. If it doesn’t work properly then it’s possible you burnt the mother board. Which can be replaced for about $30,and then you might need a new charger also. Which model do you have and is it 6 or 12 volts ?

Having computer issues, the problem can be the mother board feed for the remote may have burned up when you charged it. If the charger didn’t cut off when the battery was finished charging.

Yes I think it going to be good to change both, but I would put the speed switch in first and try it. If it’s works then you will have a spare pedal switch.

Also if you remove the speed switch turn it over and replay it back in. If then it only works in low gear you will know it’s the switch.

The speed setting on playactive is listed as the following.

Also some ride ons have two speed switches under the accelerator pedal. If that is the case you will need to change the low switch

Also some ride ons have two pedal switches under the accelerator if that’s the case you will have to change the low speed switch.

If you have a volt tester check the battery and make sure it wasn’t left on and drained. Next check the power switch to make sure it’s working. You will have to pull the switch out to test.

Hi it’s probably going to be the speed setting switch I would change that first check the low side. The next thing would be the control board and also test the remote control to make sure it’s not stuck in high gear.

What type of car model .? Also 6 or 12 volt. You should have one or two switches either should be under the shifter or push button on the dash. If your lucky and have the one pictured. You just have to unplug it from the bottom of the plug and pull the plug out. If it’s power wheels you can use the chart below or check eBay.https://www.ereplacementparts.com/power-wheels-parts-c-115632.html?osCsid=jo65ai92j52i0scvh3s2koqbp1

Is the problem the same in reverse or just forward , if so then it would be the forward switch. If it’s the same in f/r then the next step would be the control box.

Fantastic glad you figured it out, make sure your charger is not overcharging,(check to see if the charger turns off when it’s finished charging) that can cause the controller to go bad. Also drill plenty of drain holes.

Fuse only goes bad if you over charge the battery out of the two I would lean towards the controller.

Sounds like a pedal switch maybe going out, you will need to check that first. If you can tell me that then we can go from there.

If you hear a clicking it probably the mother board.

I apologize for not getting back my instructable messages are always coming through.You have something pulling your voltage down does the car have a radio or lights tHat maybe staying on while the car is sitting ?

Not sure about the wire it’s possible it goes to rear lights. How old is the Jeep, also do you have a volt meter ? Is the Jeep 6 or 12 volt, once charged use a volt meter and test the battery. It should read 6 plus or 12 plus volts if it still good. Can you trace the loose wire and tell where it’s coming from. If the battery read good then the next step would be to check the pedal switch and then the forward gear switch.What brand is it and the voltage.

Sounds like the gear switch may be bad. But I would replace the battery first. You can also check the connections to the battery. It should be a blue sealed battery. You can remove the blue plastic casing from the top of the battery. Use wire cutters or a knife to take it apart. I had one customer with the same problem one of the connections were corroded. After taking it apart there is no corrosion get a new battery. In this instructable you can see how to remove the battery terminal wire and reuse them with a cheaper generic battery. After changing the battery and it still doesn’t work you will need to replace the gearshift. If you can hook up a 12 volt charger directly to the power plug and raise the two rear wheels and see if it runs that will tell you if it’s just the battery. ...

https://www.kidswheels.com/index.php?option=com_mijoshop&route=product/search&search=RadioThese were were the only radios I found online.

Yea I am thinking you fried the radio, if you have a number for customer service with the original paperwork that came with the ride on you may be able to get one from them.

The only problem with the ride ons that have radios and working lights. They all run off the batteries and it shortens the ride time and overall life of the batteries.

It could if you have a cold solder joint it may, check your charger to make sure it’s putting out 6 or 12 volts whichever you have.

Make sure you have good batteries in the remote also if you open it up look for loose or broken wires.

Forward and reverse switch can be bad, or remote it you can find a replacement switch online. Remote batteries can be bad or receiver can have a loose wire inside. You will need to take it apart.

You have to check the motor and see what the voltage rating are

If you eliminated everything else it may be the control box receiver. If you have any of the manuals that came with it you could contact the makers and ask them

Put something under the back of the car to raise the back tires up and press the pedal . See if one tire or both are turning .

What is the brand and model of the car also how old ?

More likely you may have a broken wire in the remote control and it can’t send a signal to take the emergency brake off. Are you handy with soldering wires ? If so you can take the remote apart and see if it has a broken wire. If it doesn’t then it will be something else.

Sounds like a low or bad battery, check the battery once it’s charged and it should show 12 plus volts.

Try taking the batteries out of the remote and see if it resets.

Ok so did you check the batteries and switches, pedal switch,off/on switch and forward/reverse. Anyone of these can stop it from running, also test the charger is putting out correct voltage.

I think it may be the pedal switch,if you have a volt meter remove the switch. Then you test it to see if that’s the cause.

Sound like one of the pedal switch, if you can pull it out. Sometimes there are screws under the car. If there are no screws it will come undone from the top. You will pry from the side of where the pedal connects to the vehicle , remember or take a picture of the wires on the bottom of the switch so you can put them back correctly . Use a volt meter to see if the readings change when you press the switch it will one of the two pics

What type of car is it 12v or 6v

Sorry I didn’t get to answer sooner we were out of town. Check the connections on the batteries and make sure they are clean and making good contacts.Also check the connections where the connection between batteries and power connector. If there is any build up of corrosion it can cause loss of power. If it has been kept outside any moisture can corrode the connections

You don’t need an expensive meter some places sell them for about $5.

You need to use a volt meter and check the charger and also the battery make sure you are reading 12volts from the charger and 12 plus on the battery. It doesn’t have to be an expensive volt meter.The next two thing to check will be the on/off switch and the foot pedal switch. Once you test the charger and battery let me know your reading.

I think your problem with speed may be with the accelerator pedal. This may be a two switch system, if you pull the pedal out and look underneath see if it has two switches. They put these in so the car would take off gradually, but it effects total speed. If it is two switches you will see a jumper from the main switch,the highest on the pedal, to a second switch. Take pics before undoing any wires, then take the jumper off and reconnect the other wire to the main switch. If it only has one switch you will need to install 24 v motors ,switches and motherboard. There are some good YouTube videos on how to upgrade and some show without changing everything out. Look for videos with good rating.

Glad you figured it out, good luck.

A good battery will read 12 plus volts close to 13 volts fully charged. Yes if you can connect the charger to the car and have the back wheels off the ground.I think your battery is bad.

I don’t think it’s a fuse but it could be a couple of things, check the peddle switch. You should be able to remove it with a flat head screwdriver. Undo the wires that plug in from the bottom. Use a volt meter and press on the peddle and see if you get a reading. Also does it work in reverse if so it could be the forward switch, if it does work in reverse you will need a new forward switch. Check on those then let me know what happens.

There are two types of control/mother boards, your problem can be that or the forward reverse switch. It would be cheaper to replace the switch first. What brand model is the ride.?

Sounds like you may have a bad connection on the battery plug and or the charger plug. By getting rain on it, it may have caused some corrosion. If you have a small file or some sandpaper and clean the connections.Could be trouble between the charger and battery seems like your battery isn’t charging. If you have a volt meter check the battery it should read 12 plus or 6 plus volts depending on which battery you have. Also with the charger plugged in check with the volt meter make sure it’s putting out the correct voltage 6 or 12.

Sounds like the forward/reverse on manual may have went out. Could be the remote may override the switch but I am not sure. If you can undo the gear shift on the dash you should be able to get to the switch. Pull it out,turn it 180% and put it back in if it goes forward it’s the switch you can clean them or just buy a new switch.

Also the speaker is real cheap could have blown.

I have an extra 3 prong switch if you send me mailing address I send it to you for $5 plus shipping. I can calculate shipping based on zip code mine is 70393 the weight is 10 ounces packaged.

You can take the f/r switch out turn it 180% and reconnect if it goes forward it’s the switch.

I did some searching and found out it is a mini moto Lambo. Couldn’t find a manufacturer switch but if you send a pic I may be able to find a universal online

Did a bit of searching the car is a mini moto, haven’t found a manufactures switch. But you should be able to use a universal type switch. If you send a pic I may be able to find it.

One thing you can check on also this is one of the latest model and they have a r/c control over ride and manual. When the r/c switch is flip it will only work in slow speed. Not sure where the switch on this model is ,maybe by the power. If you can find a owner manual that might help.

The fast and slow switch is under the shifter or on the dash. The forward / reverse and fast/ slow are identical. They will be mounted under the shifter or on the side, the problem with these switches is when they get wet or corroded. If you see some corrosion on the plug in tabs when you disconnect the wring you can try sanding them and they may work without removing them completely.You have to disconnect the wiring from the switches and then there are a couple of tabs on the sides. You push the tabs in and push up to remove them. If they are under the shifter you have to take it apart. Take a pic of the position they are in before taking them and and replace the same way. There are a couple of good videos on YouTube to give you a visual how to remove them.

Possible but not likely I would try getting a can of spray electronics cleaner and spray into the phone connection spot.Disconnect the battery first

Yes ours too we use blocks on the jacks ,maybe since it’s short it wobbles more. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Could be a couple problems the peddle switch could be bad or the forward reverse switch could be bad . You will need only a Phillip and flat head screwdriver. The pedal switch will need to be taken out to test look under the car to see if you see any screws by the pedal area if not you will need to remove it from the top side.You will notice where it sit there should be some slits where you can slide the flat head screw driver to help pull it up.Turn it over there will be a long Phillip screw which you need to take out and also the wires plugged into the switch. Once everything is disconnected there are two tabs to to push in and remove it from the top. There are 2 different switches one is larger then the other, you will need to figure out which one you have and can order a new one on ...

Same way look for Phillip screw or slits to pull the shifter out under there will be two switches one for forward reverse and one of slow fast. Again if you have a volt meter you can test them and find new ones on eBay or from the manufacturer. The first two are the pedal switches and the last is the gear and speed switch.

The drive switches you have two one for forward reverse and one for slow and fast. The problem is your forward reverse switch it’s working in reverse but not making connections in forward. You can get a replacement on eBay.

Thank you

I'm not sure which are you at talking about if its the positive why are going to the battery you may need to replace it go back to the spot with burned get to the spot where still good and then you may have to put a fuse connection between the wire and the battery that way if it over Lowes it'll blow the fuse and not burn the wire right now my internet is real slow I will try to answer you again once I get another signal thank you
