I know 9 times means wheels are unlocked and 5 times means the chair is turned on with the charger in so it is disabled. The chair now flashes 7 times and I don't know what that means. Any help is appreciated.
This problem may depend on which main controller your chair has fitted. It should be a Penny & Giles GC controller. US versions should have a GC3 whilst here in the UK, it would be fitted with a GC2. However, the diagnostic flash codes for these two controllers should be the same. The reason im slightly confused is that you say 5 flashes mean your charger is connected at power up, when in fact it should be a Right Motor Wiring Fault. 9 flashes is indeed a Solenoid Brake Fault, or in other words, the wheelchair is in 'Free Wheel' as you have described. Therefore, IF your controller is in fact a Penny & Giles GC, 7 flashes would mean a Joystick fault. There is not much you can do to diagnose this other than checking connections between the Joystick and main controller. If these are OK, it is likely that a new Joystick controller will be required as having these fixed is usually not cost affective. Hope this is of some help to you.

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
9 flashes indicates a problem with the parking brakes. Check to make sure the brakes are engaged and the chair is not in freewheel. there may be a bad connection at the left and right motor connections and brake wiring. Check these connectors for separation and loose, corroded contacts. Reset the error code by turning the chair off and back on once you think you have corrected the problem. Hope this helps

Normally seven flashes means it is locked up. To reset is simple., just push the button on the control head (where the joystick is), to turn it off. (That is if it is not already off). Then push the button to turn it on, and when the flashing starts push the horn button twice. That should unlock it. Some people think of it as a reset. That should solve the problem. If it does not check your cables and make sure they are connected. These are the cables that run from the control head down to the base. If your not plugged in and your not in neutral, (check your levers), then you should be good to go. If not it may be your batteries. I have seen them last for only two years and other have goen well over five years.
