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 charger connector is
plugged into the battery, 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.
Wrong type or improperly installed fuse
Make sure that the battery has a properly installed
Power Wheels

25 amp fuse before charging. Do not
substitute parts.
Blown fuse
Make sure that the fuse in the battery is in good
condition. Replace a blown fuse with a Power Wheels
