Here is a link with descriptions of the flashing controller lights for most power wheel chair controllers. This will allow you a fast diagnosis to save time and money on your repair; it may be as simple as a brake reset instead of a costly motor replacement! The first page you will see is especially for Hoverounds, but you might be able to find other brands if you know the manufacturer of the controller.

Jazzy 600 powewr chair intermittion operation

The small click noise is the parking brake releasing to allow you to drive. the flashing is called a flash code that will give you an idea of what is wrong. count the amount of lights flashing this would indicate the problem. Post the amount of lights flashing and some could give you the meaning of the code.

My M41 invacare controller keeps flashing and it flashes 5 times. I don't understand what the fix for this.

If your M41 has the mark V controller that is seen pictured in the stock photo you provided, the 5 flash code is a left park brake fault.
1. Turn off the chair.
2.Disengage the left motor (levers are located in front under the seat) roll the chair back and forth and re-engage the left motor.
3. Engage the left motor.
4. Turn on chair.

If you happen to have the older Mark IV controller (has a toggle switch to turn on/off and three battery lights), the 5 flash code means the chair is receiving high or low voltage from the batteries. I would recommend having the batteries checked.

If the chair stops flashing, you are good to go. If the chair is still flashing, you will need to contact a technician to possibly replace the left brake. I recommend Repair Xpress FixMyPWC com Nationwide service and delivery solution for power...

Red light flashing on joystick about 10 min after charging

Most of the time it may be the batteries at fault. One more thing to try is charging the chair with the Joystick on all night 10-14 hours uninterrupted charging. Your chair may suffer from current roll back. There is a circuit in your system that has to be reset by the long charge cycle to reset it. I did not make this up. it occurs when the motors over heat or have a a large current draw. the chair will operate normally for ten maybe even twenty mins. then suddenly drop down to 2 flashing red lights.

I have aenigma wheel chair with a shark contoller when you switch it on all lights come on then only one left hand light flashes red thanks Stuart

Stuart iy\ts indicating low battery voltage charge the batteries and see if it goes away if it doesn't then the batteries need replacing or your charge is not working correctly If after charging overnite when you get up in the morning the charger should have a green light on and the battery level should be full. If after just a bit it goes to the red flashing light then your batteries are bad and need replacing. If the chair is less than 6 months old then the batteries are under warranty and your provider(where you got your chair) must replace them at no cost Hope this helps

You can visit this website to find answers on what the flashing trouble indicator lights mean: http://www.pgdt.com/scenter/diagnostics/diagvsi.html
Locate the page that has the controller used on your power chair/scooter and count how many lights are flashing to diagnose the trouble. If your insurance purchased the power chair for you, they may also cover the repairs; contact them for information.
Good luck!

My speed indicator lights are constintly flashing- the chair works fine though

You don't say what sort of chair you have, but if it has tilt or power seating system, the speed lights flashing could be a power-limiting warning, which means you have the seat tilted or raised too high for full power so it is limited to going slow. Lower seat and then try to drive it an normal speed. If the seat isn't tilted or raised and lights are flashing, then the switch on the chair that senses the height or the tile is probably faulty and would require replacement. Do NOT disable or bypass the switch as it is a safety device to prevent unsafe operation.

Lights on hand control flash off and on and chair will not operat

There is a series of diagnostic flash codes associated with the controller. The diagnosis depends on which color and how many lights are flashing. If you post the combination, I can help you. Or you can download the Basic Operation Instructions of the Pilot Controller from the Pride website. The codes are listed on page two on the troubleshooting instructions.

Remote contoller mode light flashing controller not working?

Hold down the connect button on the receiver and the mode button on the controller at the same time for approximately 10 seconds. This is a 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter and receiver (connection is somewhat like your WIFI router and laptop computer) and they need to reconnect sometimes.
