Why won't my pride legend start?

Scooter does not start. Battery is fully charged, lights & horn work. Flash codes - initially 3 flashes-pause-5 flashes for a couple cycles, then 3 flashes-pause-1 flash continues repeatedly. Freewheel lever is down - I have moved it up and down several times with the key removed. I also disconnected and reconnected all plugs: motor harness, battery harnesses and front-to-rear cable. Any suggestions? Thank you.

The legend has a Curtis controller. The flash codes you provided points the problem to a faulty throttle pot. If a new throttle does not fix the issue, then your problem is the controller itself.

SOURCE: I have a pride gogo

What that flash code indicates that there is that the battery voltage is to high to operate the scooter. This can happen for a number of reasons and from out of no where. The manual says you should contact GoGo for this problem. But I know a couple things to try and if they do not work then you need to contact GoGo.

First remove the battery connectors for 5 full minutes and see if that resets it.
You may have a wire that got caught up somewhere so check all wires for breaks in the insulation, cracks etx.
Check the fuse as well.
Push in the main circuit breaker reset button (see diagram)

Here is the GoGo Pride Scooter website should you need to contact them and if what I listed does not work then you need to. The things I list are some at home troubleshooting tips GoGo does not offer. They say to contact them immediately. http://www.pridemobility.com/contact.asp
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: my dad's pride celebrity scooter has new

Hi. The batteries for these things seem to go bad rather quickly when they are not used, but here is something to try..... So called "smart chargers" are what everything is going to. They analyze the condition of the battery and if everything is good, charge it. If everything is not good, according to the parameters of that charger, they don't. My suggestion is to take the battery out of the unit and try an old-fashioned analog battery charger for a little while, set to the proper voltage for the battery, of course, and monitored closely to measure the effects. If the batteries seem to take a charge, put them back in and run it a bit, then try the on-board charger again, just don't wait until the batteries are completely drained this time.

Testimonial: "thanks for response. i told him even new batteries should be charged before use."

SOURCE: NO DRIVE ON MY PRIDE REVO MOBILITY SCOOTER

You can try to do this with the cover off, just in case it is not seated properly and holding the lever from fully engaging. The actual swithc is a small microswitch down at the brake, and it can get dirt in it and that will stop it from working, or it may even fail, and need to be replaced. So I would:
1) try it woth the shroud off the motor using.
2) look for dirt around the switch.
3) take a paperclip and jump the scooter side of the switch to bypass the microswitch on the scooter, be careful not to short the jumper to the scooter frame.

Let me know how you make out.

What does a flashing yellow light mean on the joystick? the light looks like the shape of a wrench.

Hi Judy,

According to Pride's troubleshooting documents the service indicator (wrench icon) will flash when a fault is detected by the dynamic controller.

The number of flashes, followed by a 2 second pause, indicates the issue. You will need to count the flashes to determine the cause and a possible solution.

I have typed the flash codes below, but you can also see them on a larger table here: http://www.fixya.com/support/p3641679-pride_jazzy_614_hd_jazzy_614hd/usermanual-6B42026-pdf

DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and
easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed below
develops.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the scooter has been
turned off, then turned back on.
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because
the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
FLASH CODE CONDITION SOLUTION
! (1) Battery charge is low. Charge batteries as soon as possible.
! ! (2)
Batteries are too low to operate the
scooter.
Charge batteries.

The scooter’s battery voltage is too
high to operate the scooter, or the
charger is still connected to charger
port.
Unplug charger and/or turn key off, then
back on again.
! ! ! ! (4) Current limit time out.
Turn the scooter off for a few minutes,
then turn your scooter back on.
