The number of lights that are flashing will indicate what the problem is related to.
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. Try resetting your brakes to see if that will help reset the system (makre sure the power chair is turned off first.) If your insurance purchased the power chair for you, they may also cover the repairs; contact Hoveround for an appointment.
Good luck!

The wheels were locked and so was the joystick, that fixed the problem of bling lights and beeping and not moving

Hoveround won't move.

Double check to be sure drive levers are fully engaged. Go down and up a few times. If problem persists have Hoveround come and check it out. One of the drive motors may have shorted out when you continued driving with gravel in the wheel.

I bought used mprv 4 hooveround, been setting for a couple years and I put new battries in it,I put it in driveand all the lights come on you can near something running when you move the lever forward,...

take the freewheel levers and move them up and down a few times then leave them both in the up position. Turn on the chair and see if it works correctly The noise you hear are the motors or motor running because one or both levers are in freewheel.The clicking you hear is the electric brakes engaging when you move the joystick Hope this helps

The speed control light goes back and fourth on the console.

If the lights are chasing left to right then you are in inhibit mode meaning a charger is attached or there is a problem in the joystick with the inhibit functio. Right to left chasing I think means you are in freewheel. Turn the Power off and reset the levers in front on the chair then turn the power back on and hope the lights are steady and the chair will work. If this doesn't do it maybe you are in lockout mode. If you have the manual for this chair it should explain how to get out of "lockout". If not try turning the power on and within 10 seconds push the joystick straight forward and hold until you hear a beep then immediately move the joystick to the rear and hold until you hear another beep then release joystick to the center. This should get it out of "lockout" Hope this helps!!! Of course you could always call Hoveround and ask for tech support to help with this. Checkout their website for phone number Hoveround.com

Hoveround wont move

Make sure the batteries are fully charged, all the connections are secure, the fuses are intact, there are no flashing lights and that the two black manual brake release knobs are in the upright position (located just above the footrest.).

98 vw beetle wont go in reverse

I have a 1998 and I just confronted the same problem. It seems to take like 1 gear in reserve and like 2 gear in 1 gear. Any thoughts? I don't really it should be the transmission since it still works going forward in 2 different gears. Thanks.

My mpv 5 turns on and horn works but wont move

Make sure both manual brake levers are in the UP/DRIVE position. They are located just above the footrest between where your ankles would be. If they are both up and there are no flashing lights on the controller, the motors may be bad.

Chair will move forward and backwards OK but either will not turn or will go around in a circle very sharply

one of the motors is bad or has bad connection. try raising the chair so the drive wheels are off the ground (free-wheel) turn power on, push joystick forward and watch for drive wheels to turn. the one that wont indicates a bad motor or connection.
