Bad news; probably a short in the primary for the motor. This usually happens when the chair has been driven over unstable terrain, like wet, soggy grass and it bogs down in the muck. Driving it out while seated causes over-amping on the motors as they try to compensate for slipping, etc, and a motor will fry or a fuse will blow, or wiring harness will cook. You can replace the motor gear assembly for about $900.00, or try taking the motor to a rebuilder and have it rewound, which runs a couple hundred and the motor is like new again. Jack the left side up, remove the left wheel (make sure you save the key that fits in the slot on the axle! They get lost easy). unplug the motor and remove the 6 bolts holding the motor to the frame, disconnect the shift mechanism and the motor is free. separate the motor from the gear box and take the motor into the shop, reinstall and test run it. If the gearbox wasn't damaged, it should be good as new.
Good luck
