Jet 3 Ultra Power Chair - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

On many chairs, there will be two wires from the chair to the batteries, one coded red and one black, and a short jumper cable. Park the batteries so the terminals are close to the other battery. Connect the red cable to one +/positive terminal. Connect the black cable to the -/negative terminal ON THE OTHER BATTERY. Connect the jumper between the unused + and - terminals. On many makes and models, the cables are just the right length to hook everything up in a precise way so you may have to think about how to position everything to work. On some chairs, there is a battery topper that has 4 cables and a master plug that plugs into the chair. These can be a bit trickier to figure out the 'right' configuration, but the basic idea is the same- one from the chair to the +, one to the -, and two that connect the two batteries together.

Chances are you batteries are beyond their usable life and need replacement -OR- you have a disconnect between either battery and the chair. Please check to make sure the circuit breaker isn't popped, all the fuses under the shrink-wrap on the positive terminals are good and that the battery connectors are seated properly. If the batteries each measure 12-14 volts at the battery post while the chair is plugged in and either drop below 10volts when unplugged then your batteries need replacing.

If your batteries are over 3-years old or are a poor quality (Werker, ISO, Long, no-name, etc) then you need to replace the batteries. Many independent battery dealers can load test and test for internal resistance. Both tests will determine if there is a battery issue. It is best to always replace these gel or sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries as a pair. The Pride Mobility Jet 3 typically takes two each size U1 batteries. i.e.: GPC1234 or UB12350.

I had same problem. I found a Zip Tie had dug in the wires that only effected the charging not the controlling part. Till the Zip Tie dug in farther, till it cut another wire, preventing the chair to move. That's is when I discovered it. After finding this out, my old batteries were probably good. I just assumed it was their end of life

I have had a search for parts but as with many chairs/scooters they are not listed. so looks like your only options are take to dealer and get fixed, find a blacksmith that can make a new link you might even try a school with metal work rooms, and ask if they can help. or keep your eyes open on eBay and try to find the part or non working scooter to take the part off, and have other spares. if you find other parts for your scooter email the seller and ask if they have the link, many people only list more expensive parts when they break a scooter. what ever if you can get the part made or direct from dealer get a back up, always good to have spares. hope that helps.regards, mark.

will need more information to help, are there any lights showing on the controller when switched on? is free-wheel selected (lever on motor) if it is the chair should be easy to move by pushing? have you checked the leads are all pluged in and the connectors are all connected and firm? and any other thing you might think maybe useful. this is the trouble shooting guide: http://www.pridemobility.com/includes/download.php?f=troubleshooting/INFINFB2045_Jet_3_Ultra_Troubleshooting.pdf it is a link to a direct download of the .PDF file open with any PDF reader like adobe reader. if you have no reader just go to this link: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/reader.html adobe reader it is free have a look through and see if it helps. if not just respond with more info. hope that helps. regards, mark.

for that go to invacare tech

\hmm what do u need to know? how to replace battery?if so take seat off then take off shroud and u will see batterys,make a wiring diagram of how batterys are conected before u remove them, good luck

yes there is a short either in the motors or joystick u would be better off contacting the dealer and have a tech run his programmer on it and tell u what is wrong, will save u money if u can take that power chair to the dealers shop

u need both gear boxes replaced or new seals put in them,go to ebay and look for the motors with gear boxes for your specific chair or otherwise u will need to ordor them from a dealer and and have your insurance pay for them

first thig is to jack up front or have someone help u lift the chair on a, box that that will just fit between the tires and then put in gear and take nut and washer off then pull tire off if u bought new tires without the rims u need to take to a tire repair shop and have them put them on for u then replace \

take seat off then take cover off with 4 screws then make a diagram of existing cables then take cables off remove old batterys, then go back with same style batterys making sure they are gel batterys and exact match and reverse the steps above,good luck

that can be caused by several things,low voltage, gearbox has a broken tooth in gear ,or u may need to buy new batterys, have some one check voltage of batterys first, and have them do a load test on batterys also,good luck and if this seems be ok have a dealer tech look at it and tell u what is wrong

please contact a dealer tech,u may have a bad controller it happens

i take it this is a used chair,u just bought someone elses problem,sorry,begin by checking voltage of batterys,after they are charged,then see if if it powers on,if it doesnt,id ask for my money back,or u can hire a tech to look at it and give u a written report on what it will take to fix it

check levers under chair make sure they are engaged,first then turn off power and reboot

sounds like the power is not getting through, check the batteries are they charged? if not there is prob a loose lead or battery needs to be re fitted to be sure they are making proper contact.

Bad controller or charger plugged in.
