Jazzy 1121 VSI controller: controller disabled, speed control light flashes, joystick does not function, batteries charged, charger not plugged into AC. Plug-in charger and controller enabled, joy stick and controller work fine to the limit of the AC cord. The Disable and Enable function seems to be reversed. Any clues??

What if the speed LEDs on the VR2/VSI begin to flash?

• Determine if the battery charger is connected to the power base. When the battery charger is connected to the power base, a charger inhibit feature keeps the power chair from driving. This is indicated by the VR2/VSI speed
  LED(s) flashing.
• Determine if the charger harness fuse has blown. A blown charger fuse can cause the charger inhibit to
  activate.
• Determine if all controller connections are plugged into the power base properly. If the 3-pin charger
  inhibit connector is not plugged in properly, then the charger inhibit feature will activate.

I suggest you print this out and keep it handy.

I am assuming you have a Jet 7 with a VSI controller (manufactured by Penny and Giles) with a steady flash of all the speed and profile LEDs (lights). This is a no drive away feature of the VSI if the charger is plugged in. The older Penny and Giles controllers indicate the same flash code.

If you have an on- board charger check to see if it is plugged into the wall. If it is, unplug it and see if the chair runs. Sometimes, you have to remove the back cover and unplug the charger haress at the output of the charger inside the electronics housing (much more difficult). A failed on-board charger can inhibit the VSI controller (no drive away) even if it unplugged from the wall outlet. There is also a charger inhibit harness with a fuse that might have failed. A qualified technician can jumper this harness to bypass and test.

If you have an off-board charger unplug it from the wall or unplug it from the charging port in the front of the VSI. If the chair runs in either case you have a bad charger.

You may also have a bad VSI controller which can be rebuilt or replaced. Start with the basic charger unplug tests and then work your way to the VSI controller. Hope this helps.

you have either bad batteries or a bad charger or the charger might have come unplugged at the controller or power module. When you have the charger plugged in and you turn on the joystick the lights on the joystick should ripple to indicate the charger is plugged in. If you don't see this ripple then either the charger is bad or disconnected. Trace the charger cable from the rear of the chair (you have to remove the seat and shroud to do this) to the front module and make sure that the cable is plugged in. Hope this helps

Cezna Are the lights that are blimking the battery level lights or they the speed level lights. If it is the speed level lights then the chair thinks you still have the charger plugged in. If it is the battery level lights do a certain number of lights flash 3 lights flashing 4 lights flashes etc this is the flash code and will tell you what problem you have. It could also mean that you are in lockout or sleep mode If you have the VSI joystick then turn on the power immediately push the joystick forward and hold until you hear a beep then mmediately push it to the rear til you hear a beep then immediately let it return to the center position. If it was in sleep mode this should wake it up. Hope this helps you

If your chair is run by a Pilot VSI controller, the error code----3 red/4 yellow/ 1 green---indicates a controller failure. I am having controller problems of a different kind on a Jazzy 1107 and it appears that few shops will work on the controller. Replacement is very costly.
