All joy stick lights stay on constantly. wheelchair does not move lights go out only if battery is disconnected

If the joystick on your power wheelchair remains inactive even after charging, several issues may be at play. First, check if the charging process completes successfully, ensuring the battery is fully charged. If the joystick power persists to stay off, examine the joystick's connections and cables for any damage or disconnection. Additionally, inspect the battery terminals, ensuring they are clean and secure. If these steps don't resolve the problem, it may indicate a malfunction in the joystick itself, requiring professional diagnosis and potential replacement. Consult the wheelchair's user manual for specific troubleshooting steps or contact the manufacturer's customer support for guidance.

Most likely the joy stick and the circuit it controls is defective.

If the joystick turns completely off when you try to drive it means the batteries instantly are dropping voltage below the operating capabilities. I have also seen bad connections in the battery wiring harness cause the same thing.

The batteries are to weak to drive the chair. It takes a lot of battery power to start moving but not when you just turn it on. Using a volt meter in the charge port before and when you push the joystick will confirm this. Very typical of wheelchair batteries to do this when weak.

The lights indicate you are in charge mode or inhibit. Check to make sure the charger isn't plugged in. If it isn't then the inhibit function of the chair is bad and will have to be repaired Hope this helped

truffles e-mail me at [email protected]. I need to know if you are getting any flashing lights on your joystick and are you hearing the brakes click when you move the joystick. Thanks

Joy When you plug in the charger the lights on the joystick will scroll because of something called charger inhibit which disables the joystick when charging It is a safety feature. Now when you disconnect the charger turn off the chair and then turn it back on you should then get all the battery lights indicating the charge level If fully charged all the lights will be lit. If after you unplug the charger and you still get the scrolling lights then you have a problem with the charger inhibit function in the joystick and it will have to be replaced. Hope this helps you

Just had this problem with my Guardian Aspire. They had to replace the electronic box with the joy stick. BIG BUCKS!
