They are not cheap. They have brushes in them and they will need to be cleaned and dry. They need to be lubricated. There could be issues with corrosion.

Check to see if they are sealed units
probably find that there will be water in the bearings
the answer is to have them service to check for water in the windings
The major problem will be water in the electrics because the batteries are connected and that sets up electrolysis in the circuits which corrodes away wires and contacts

Testimonial: "Well that is what I am asking, stripped it down, batteries full d=charge, joystick did not get wet, controller was sealed no moisture inside."

SOURCE: working on a pride wheelchair that i just put (2)

First, make sure that the motors are both engaged and not in freewheel, and that the charger is unplugged. If it is a constant flash without pause, this is usually an indication that the joystick is "out of neutral", a problem caused by hitting running the joystick handle under a table, for instance, of moisture in the joystick itself. If it is a series of flashes, like 4, pause repeat, then you have a fault somewhere else in the chair. Here's a link to the flash codes for your controller. http://www.dynamiccontrols.com/index.cfm/3,73,237/dna-flash-codes-0307.pdf The flashes, types and manner of flash need to be better described in your posting. Good luck.

SOURCE: pride 1121 wheelchair led 8bars flashing wont

trent618,

The 8 bar flashing lights indicate a possible control system trip. Without a serial Number or knowing which controller system you powerchair has, I will cover the common used controller systems for the model of powerchair you have.

If you have the Pilot or VSI control system the control system detects an internal problem within its self or the joystick, and I've seen it a couple of times when both the controller and joystick have an internal problem.

If you have the Pilot + or VR2 control system the control system detects an internal problem within its self and/or the joystick and/or a communications error between the joystick and controller. I've seen it once when the controller, joystick and cable between the joystick and controller being deffective. Due to the flashing lights and you have a Pilot + or VR2 there is a good chance the problem is the cable between the joystick and controller.

The possible solutions and repairs above will require the need for an authorized person to perform the tasks. Give the company that sold you the power chair a call, or anyone or different company which works on power mobility products as the part(s) needed will only be sold to authorized deallers or service providers.

Hope this helps, if so, please respond to this solution which will help others who may have the same question.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Chair won't move flashy 9 times

A 9 flash indicates a brake issue. Make sure the motors/brakes are both locked into gear before turning on the chair. It could mean that one of the motors is unplugged from the main controller or a wire is broken between the motor/brake and the main controller.

Lock key keeps blinkinglights blink 9 times

Depending on the controller type being used you either have a controller solenoid brake fault (sticker on bottom of joystick will say "PG Drives" and have 9-bars flashing) or a communication error between the controller and joystick (Dynamic Controller flashing wrench).
Repair for PG Drive is to replace joystick/controller.
Repair for Dynamic is to clean, remove and reseat or replace joystick cable.

How do i fix the chair when the control flashes 9 times

Typically when a joystick flashes 9 times, it indicates there is a problem with the solenoid brake(s). I recommend contacting Pride Mobility for a Certified Technician in your area to look at this chair.

Light flashes 9 times

This is a cable disconnect code. Follow the cable going from your joystick controller to where it connects to another wire under or behind your seat. Disconnect and reconnect. You also will want to look at the cable closely for any pinches or cuts. This will also cause the 9 flash code.

Jazzy select contol panel all leds flash 9 times, pause and then repeat. I have checked the free wheel mode levers on both sides several times and they are definetly not in free wheel mode

Bob on each brake at the motor there is a micro switch that the controller gets connection info as to wether or not the chair is in freewheel. I have seen these switches break and therefore the controller thinks the chair is in freewheel. you could also have a bad brake solenoid that is not activating the brake when you try to move. I think the micro might be the problem because you say it flashes 9 times as soon as you turn it on. You can get just the brake assembly from Pride instead of buying the whole motor/gearbox assembly. You didn't say if you bought the chair or Medicare. If Medicare did then they will pay for most of the repair you can contact your provider or a repair service Repair Xpress @1-877-581-3733 or Roadrunner Mobility @ 1-800-467-2668 Hope this helps you

Jazzy select. quick operating cutoffs locations,when i hook up the chagrer. the lever control blikks eight times and then quits cant find an opening or a short. i need a copy of the wireing schematic. .

Hi. On some machines eight flashes is a fault code for a faulty motor. Usually means that the brushes have stuck or worn out. Use a multi-meter, and see if both motors have a circuit through them. Good luck. Neil.

Chair won't go. Lights flash

Check your freewheel levers. They must be engaged or the lights will flash and the chair will be inoperable. These levers are under the shroud behind drive wheels. (One on each side)
