Super helpful. Was able to narrow it down to one of the switches in the gear selector. Pulled the switch apart and found a crack on the side that allowed the electrical contacts to not touch. My wife thought it was sexy I figured it out but I just followed your instructions. Thanks!

Love what you said at the end. Being your kids hero is priceless. We have a keep that won’t work. Not the battery. Our 6 grandkids are wanting to drive it so bad. It breaks our hearts and I’m trying to figure how to fix before curbsiding it.

thanks man didnt have to go any further than cleaning up the accelerator pedal switch and we were on go ,, found this thing on the curb ,, battery was still good ,, heck of a find for my 6 month old grandson Maverick !!

Thanks! I was able to find a bad double throw switch in 10min with your help

Perfect. Just in time for Christmas. Can't disappoint the nephew. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I've got to be mother and father for my boyo. And nothing makes him think i'm the best mom in the world more than helping improve his power wheels jeep ;)

I’ve got a fleet of 3 now for the refurbish reason. Barbie jeep turned green monster with lights and all. Dune buggie shenanigans, and tonka truck full dump back. All running off my Milwaukee 12ah beasts. :)

Just want to thank you! You helped me fix my sons tractor! Wasn’t sure how to test everything but your video solved it for me!

I curb shopped 2 of these for my Son. I hope between the two, I can make at least one runner. Neither had a battery, so I opted for a lawn tractor battery.

Thank you for the information! We bought a brand new Range Rover, discovery power wheels for our son, upon first use it stopped driving in forward but would work in reverse. Now it’s fixed and I understand how the system works for future repairs!

I’m confused so why was the issue??

Just picked up a truck for my daughter that was free and this will certainly be handy for me getting back running. I suspect the motor is donezo but this will allow me to confirm

That's what i need to fix it - the lift! Thanks man!

I got a good laugh with the power wheel on the lifter! LOL nice vid bruh!

Great step by step video. Loved the commentary. 😆

Thanks for the video I might have more questions. But ill first try the step by step

Wow! A great video. Thank you going downstairs to do same.

Love the danger stickers on the lift

Thanks for this. I got as far as the foot pedal test on my own. My model doesn't have a safety relay, but I was unsure about the switches in the shifter and how the power was routed through those pins. Simple simple once I had that. Thanks so much!

All 5 of these test as expected, but when I try to determine which lead powers 12v to the pedal, I put the black lead into a black wire plug but then all 3 spots don’t show voltage. Sign of bad wiring/batter connector?

Super helpful got one for free cause it stopped working 30$ later runs like a champ

Thank you so much for making this video❤❤❤

Hi, great video but I need some further help. Everything works on my kid's Dune Racer except when he is in it, it will stutter, like go and stop intermittently when the pedal is pressed. It doesn't do that if the back is lifted up and I'm just pressing the switch. Background: I had added another 12 V battery to make it 24. Used cheap wire from Amazon. The connections are secure but maybe the wire is no good? Or maybe it is just the switch?

My sons Mercedes AMG buzzes loud when its turned off? Any ideas? Thanks and nice job

My son’s semi is having issues when you push the pedal down the power shuts off… what should I check first

I've got a First Drive Mustang blue electric toy car, with no power when I hit the power button. I used volt-meter and checked the battery is fine, the charger port is fine. There are three wires, red and white go to the battery and a third grey wire goes to some module.. can you tell me how to troubleshoot?

I picked up a jd gator looking one of the curb awhile back. I hate the batteries that come with them. I ended up using a Milwaukee drill adapter. It runs well, kids love taking hay to the horses in it.

Hi! Thanks for the video. My car-crazy son managed to get a really good electric 4x4 for his birthday. He took his new role as toy-car owner very seriously, and I found him, not long after getting it, outside proudly giving the thing a really thorough wash down with the hose 😬. It hasn't worked since and we cannot afford to pay someone to take a look at it. Understandably he's gutted and spends a lot of time just sitting in the thing pretending to drive it. It starts up fine (including the very loud annoying radio) but no movement at all. Do you think this could be the pedal switch?

I changed out the tires to my kids car and now it won’t start. There’s a screw by the shifter that’s stripped. Do you have any tricks to get it out?

Ohm readings for pedal and gear selector switches start at 1.2 and drop to 0.6. Is this okay/normal? Or are all my switches bad? Great video. Helped me a lot so far.

Just picked one up for free, can't wait to dog into it!y sons gonna love it

Love the intro

Great video - good advice. My sons power wheel jeep only has reverse now. Forward isnt working. I upgraded his battery to a Ryobi 18V and he's been riding it with no issues for a month. then all of a sudden yesterday he went to get in it and it doesnt go forward. when he hits the pedal while in forward you can hear a click noise then nothing happens. reverse works fine. do you have any suggestions? thank you in advance

Bro I have a mercedez unimog 24 volt 2 motors....it turns on but it doesn't move plz help me

I was just given one of these jeeps. Battery is charged, but getting no charge through the white wire. I’m missing something to get this thing going.

goodday i have a problem with my power wheels it doesn't have enough power to back up it works but it not enough to back up, moving forward is ok. what are your thoughts in this?

What is the "charge indicator connector"?

Hello, my son has a battery powered car (12v). I got it from a friend but it has been plugged in overnight and it turns on (it didn't before) but when we press the gas pedal it seems to short out. Could it be the charger, battery, combo?

My mustang runs fine, but the radio and other sound effects do nothing even with 3 new aaa batteries. What Can I do about getting the sound box to work?

What would happen if you replaced the 3amp fuse to 5 amp?

I have a powerwheel boomerang and i cant find out whats wrong with it. I've recently mod it to the ryobi battery charger. The powerwheel will flash green for like a few seconds then change to blue. My son can ride it for like 2 seconds then it dies and we would have to disconnect the batter and reconnect to start up again. Any ideas? Much appreciated!

Ty young sir

What is the charge meter on the indicator? When testing the pedal

Hi, thanks for this awesome video, I think my f150 has bad motors, when I check them the multimeter lectures 13

Should I see the same ohms on a 6v motor?

My daughter has a 6 volt kalee trail racer atv that works in reverse but not in forward direction. I'm going to test the forward neutral reverse switch with my multimeter similar to what you did in this video, but is it safe to assume that's the issue? Loved the video, liked and subscribed. Thank you!

My relay is is showing the right volts without having to push on the peddle. Is that weird? I have 4 of these can't get a single one to work. 3 of them are brand new.

My daughters is charged and will go if I hold the power button but if I just push the power button it won’t power on it just flashes the the back lights. What do you think is the problem. I don’t have an ohmmeter to test everything.

The lift alone was hilarious

SO I HAVE THE RADIO FLYER LUKE LANDSPEEDER AND THE CAR WORKS AND TURNS ON, BUT THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL DOESNT REACT TO THE PEDAL...HELPPPPP

I have a 14.4v Lithium Ion Battery version. I have it torn apart and no idea how it works, and I'm pretty frustrated at this point. Any chance you could help? Happy to pay you.

The electric motors are getting 12V but the ohms are like 5. Does this mean the motors have gone bad and need replacement?

Our power wheels runs in reverse and low speed without issue. When in high speed the tires will only spin when lifted off the ground. As soon as my kids sit in it the motors torque up but then immediately shut off. Any ideas?

I haven't hooked anything up to check connections, but I'm thinking it's the main controller. Battery clicks every time pedal is engaged. Brand new, unused battery with same result. I was really hoping to. Avoid taking it completely apart. I think I'll have to upgrade it to 18v or 24v while I'm at it.

i think i missed what the actual problem was? everything seemed to work? anyway good walkthrough

Picked up a dune racer… having a super weird issue with the high speed mode. It works when there isn’t weight on the powerwheel but doesn’t work if there is weight (if I push down or have my kid on it). Kinda puzzled

Any suggestions for when only one rear wheel accelerates but the other rear wheel doesn't move? It just decided to stop working one day.

Any tip for if the rig won’t stop when letting off of the brake? It just coasts instead of stopping as it used to.

Do you have video about a UTV that only goes in second gear. Reverse and first don’t work.

@thedoubtfultechnician8067 - I appreciate the references: Stickers Healing bench No face Keep yer stick on the ice!

I loved this video but can I just send my son Laferrari ride on to you to get fixed ? 😂

Heathkit! Old School.

Why does my pedal relay show OL there's continuity between the 2 pins but OL shows on the screen of my tester...

Someone told me you had to have a code reader for some power wheels to figure out what was wrong, battery is good but motor won’t turn. Suggestions?

I’m here because of a curb side special 😂I suspect the shifter because it lights up when you push the pedal

So what was actually wrong with it ?

I used to have that, but the motor broke :( And its old i cant buy a new one

Did a curb pick up on a dynacraft. Changed battery to lifepo4, pedal and shifter and still nothing. I wished I knew how to better trouble shoot like you. Lights comes on when switched but once pedal is pushed lights turns off and no go :/

Dad life! 😃👍🏼

Are you near Dallas

I will tackle my ride on toys repair task list ....

Can you give can you give me the 1877 number on the power wheels battery

Yes yes it fucking did thank you

I bought a Disney carriage that won’t move what can I do to fix it

Just wanted to let you know that your sticker on the lift should be censored. The one that says " operated by F***wits. Seeing as how this video is for kids toy vehicles. Besides that thank you very much for the video, it was very creative and helpful. God bless!
