Joystick control wont work

The good news is that your MOTOR WORKS in at least ONE direction... I would suspect that "Joystick" and the switches inside are at fault!

On the passenger side pull carpet back by the kick panel you will see some wires loomed together pull the loom off u will see several wires spliced from the factory those get worn from passenger traffic...

This is known as the CZT or Climate Zone Technology fan and if you direct wire it and it does not run, replace.
This is the cold zone fan which supplies cold air to the meat and crisper drawers.

pour alittle gas in carburator & then try starting see what happen if it starts & then dies then you have a carburator problem

This is usually due to either the joystick getting knocked off center or a fault in the control module. If the joystick has suffered a hit such as somebody falling onto it while getting in the chair, or running the joysitck under a table or counter-top(happens often), it knocks the alignment off so that the controller thinks that the joystick is activated, and it will prevent the chair from moving until it is back in its proper location. Examine the joystick for signs that it has suffered a trauma such as the rubber boot being torn, dents on the cover, paint from a collision, etc. Invacare is going to charge you about $1,300.00 for a new joystick, or, you can try sending it to a repair shop. I found one here that I used once and it turned out cheaper...by a lot$. Here's the link.

Keep in mind, it may also be the controller. The only sure way to tell is to swap out the joystick with a known good one, and see if it fires up, if not, then it's the controller. Get your wallet out. I don't know of anywhere to go but to Invacare for the controller. You don't say what kind of wheelchair it is, but if it is one that the controller is built into the joystick then the link above should be able to fix it. If the controller is separate and located in the base, then you have to buy a separate controller from Invacare. To tell, the all-in-one controller will have a very thick chord running from it down into the base; about 3/4" diameter. A separate joystick and controller-in-base will have a smaller chord, about pencil-sized running down into the base fronm the joystick, and will lead to the controller in the base. Good luck.

Some chairs, like the M91 are a real bear to replace the batteries and connectors can get knocked loose in the process. First, using a voltmeter you need to see if the controller is getting power. On the DC setting, use voltmeter at the three-pin female connection at the joystick that is the charging port. The two pins that are opposite each other are the "hot" pins, and your meter should read about 25 volts, +- 2 volts. If its 0, there is a connection that isn't made from the batteries through to the controller, or the controller or joystick is shot. If you do have power to the joystick, then it's probable that the joystick is shot. A new one from Invacare is pricey, around $1,000.00 I have found a new site that can repair most makes. I have not used them, so cannot vouch for their work, but give them a call and see what you think.

If you don't have power, start at the terminals from the battery, and follow each wire back to the power control box, unplug and replug firmly as you work your way back. Check all fuses on the way. Then check all of the other connectors inside the chair, unplug, and reconnect again. Unplug and reconnect the wires leading into the power control box, and then restart chair. If no lights still, then the power control module is probably the culprit, but the address above fixes those too. The joystick and the power control module work together to make the chair operate safely. Good luck

Hey!!!

Umair you want to take your joystick out. Pull it with your 2 fingures it will out.

Hi

go to http://platen.com/ they will help you with any parts.
good luck.

i may have 2 solutions to help you take both of your hands and wiggle and shake your chord work your way up the chord if it disconnects when your doing this the wire has broke in the chord i work with wire all the time and this always works.. ****.. try this unplug your controller and blow really hard into the input there may be dust in the input causing interfearence in the connection.. Hope that helps:)

I had this same problem with my 360 controller (after modding it, but the solution should be the same..) If you pull up on any 360 joystick it will stick the same way.

The quickest fix would be to take some sandpaper on the inside of where the joystick touches the controller shell, sand it down just enough so the joystick is moving smoothly.

More professional ways would be to cut the little piece of metal that sticks out and goes into the joystick. Just a very small amount, too much will make it hard to press the right thumbstick button.
You could also try some old fashioned grease, just a little bit on the inside, nothing noticeable from the outside.

Also make sure the controller is put back together right, I've taken apart many 360 controllers and sometimes joysticks stick when there's a wire in the wrong place and the shell won't close all the way. (The rumble motors particularly).
Hope this helped!
