I have a 3yr old pride scooter, it is fully charged, when switched on lights and horn work, status light flashes, but it will not run

hi Dawn, if the light is flashing all of the time however if the scooter okay in that it does a fair distance etc, i would say there is a issue with the status circuit in the controller.

Regards

hi , 7 flashes mean the there is a issue with wigwag also known as the throttle lever now can you confirm the year of the colt please ?

Regards
Rob

hi Edward, okay if you have no status light ? please verify that ? so no flashing light ?

Did you fit the batteries ? the reason I ask if someone else did it , did you see them fit the batteries because that fault can caused because the batteries have been fitted incorrectly then corrected however it done damage to the controller ....

it well be a wiring issue so check the wiring from the tiller to the frame to the controller, making sure there are no breaks any damaged of any sort ? please update me as I can help you ..

The legend has a Curtis controller. The flash codes you provided points the problem to a faulty throttle pot. If a new throttle does not fix the issue, then your problem is the controller itself.

So the status light does not flash ? just a steady green ?,,,

so when moving the throttle lever or wig wag what ever you wish to call it , is there a click from the rear brake located on the side of the motor ???

There is no tilt switch. It can time out though, but just turn it off and on again.

hi, okay have you checked the fuses located on the tiller stem normally located under a black plastic cover ?

Your batteries may be fully charged but the voltage is not enough to power up the controller, sigh of a dodgy charger ? , bad batteries ? ? check the battery voltage , should be at least 24volts
The horn will work as it bypasses the controller logic.

Hi remove key put freewheel lever into drive & replace key .turn on...,... good luck.,

With a Pride Scooter the charger will turn green if its fully charged and if there is a bad connection in the wiring with the batteries. If you plug in the charger and the light comes on green right away then there is a problem with the wiring or connections. Take a voltmeter and read the voltage at each battery. Fully charged they should be 13-15 volts each. If they are less than 12 volts then they are not charged and the charger is not working correctly. If the batteries are really low like less than 8 volts each then the scooter might not come on at all. If you find that the batteries have at least 12 volts or more then there is a wiring problem from the rear of the scooter to the front tiller. Pride has a habit of developing problems in the harness running from the rear to the tiller. My suggestion is to contact your provider (where you got the scooter) and have them troubleshoot the scooter. If the scooter is less than a year old then it should be under warranty and your provider will have to fix it under warranty. Sorry I don't have a quick fix for you but scooters are notoriously bad to troubleshoot and repair, especially long distance. Hope this helps you

Could it be in free-wheel mode. Most Prides have a pull up knob at the rear of the scooter.
