How do I troubleshoot the scooter to make it work. I just replaced the batteries
You haven't described what the symptom is. You say you replaced
the batteries, but did you replace them correctly with the battery
wiring, making sure all connections are tight and turning on the
key..what does the battery charge meter indicate?

The Sonic has an off board charger. IF the scooter is not charging, you may need to replace it. If you a technically inclined, you can measure the voltage out of the charger, it should be more than 28 V. You may need to contact Pride for more help.

You can check the voltage going to the motors. The clicking you hear is the brake releasing. most likely, I bet water or something got on the controls and the signal is not getting to the controller. I hope its not the controller, they list for around $350.

hi, ok remove the seat by turning it to the left, there is a lever normally on the right side that will allow it be turned round,
once you done that, lift the seat in a upwards motion, the cover should come away by gemerally lifting it, it should be attached by velco underneath,
you should now see two batteries. 40Ah batteries will allow you to go further if the battery Ah is lower, 50ah batteries again will allow you can go even further NOT faster, if you buy the larger AH batteries please make sure the dimensions of the batteries will fit within the scooter battery holders.

SOURCE: battery won't charge, how do i take battery out of
Remove the seat by depressing a lever on the right side of the chair and pulling upward. there is a boot that covers the shaft of the seat rest. remove the boot and check for a pin with a ring on it. Once this is gone remove the shroud and you will find the batteries. Remove them with care and do a cursory check of all connectors. Some units have a 30 amp fuse on series with the batteries. Make sure the fuses aren't causing your trouble. Be certain to replace the batteries with the right polarity (positive to positive, etc...) Hope this helps.
