PEREGO GAUCHO 4.0 WON'T GO FORWARD

The wiring needs to be reversed.

its either going to be a bad shifter switch or a bad motor. Is it the Gaucho?

i sell replacement chargers and i can help trouble shoot

I would check the pedle and shift switches for continuity. They seem to cause problems if the jeep sits unused for a while. Replacement parts can be found at peg-peregoparts.com. Hope this helps you.

You can order the part on the link below. This board is for the Gaucho Superpower jeep if that is not what you have then go to the second link to find your jeep.

Check the throttle switch ( under the foot pedal). It probably needs replacing. I had the same problem with my sons 4-wheeler.

Some of the older Gaucho vehicles have an working ignition switch. Make sure the key is turned to the right to where the key is horizontal. This can be an easy oversight. If this has already been checked, try checking fuses. It is alway better to make sure the simple things are checked before you start spending money on parts. I would not replace switches unless the vehicle moves in one direction but not another. It is very unlikely that both swtiches went bad causing immobilization.

It may have a loose connection on the motors or switches. I would start by checking the connections. If they are secure I would replace the high/low swich and reverse switch. The Peg Perego switches are easy to replace and should do the trick.
I still think it may be a loose conection, so I would check it for sure

Problem #1:If you have taken the high speed safety device off the stick shift(small red plastic block screwed on below the yellow stick shift housing) then your high/low speed switch has gone out. There are two motors(one on each back wheel) that both have to come on when in high speed. Only one comes on for low speed. It is the switch under shifter that is not spring loaded. hi/lo switch #MEPU0002 available at www.tigerimports.net for $11.00 plus $2.00shipping That is where I got mine.
Problem #2: Sounds like you need hi/lo switch and possibly forward/reverse switch too. Before buying forward/reverse switch try putting a little grease on the white plastic assembly that engages the forward/reverse switch between the top piece and the piece that pushes down on top of the switch. Sometimes they just stick enough to stop switch from depressing. It is the switch under shifter that is spring loaded.Forward/reverse switch #MEPU0003 $11.00 plus $2.00 shipping @tigerimports.net
