Fisher Price Power Wheels Barbie Jeep Logo
Posted on Oct 10, 2010

We bought a used Barbie Power Wheels Jeep at a garage sale and were told the battery was dead. We bought a replacement, but it still doesn't run. It doesn't make any noise whatsover when you put the lever in front or reverse position.

More than likely you will need the foot pedal plunger. These tend to collect water because of their location in the floorboard and corrode because of it. You can find a replacement here. http://www.hobbymasters.com/foot-plunger-switch-for-ride-on-vehicles.aspx

Also, to keep the batteries from going bad, buy a 1.5 amp self maintaining charger and splice in the power wheels battery plug. This will keep your battery from over charging and you can leave it plugged in all the time because it shuts itself off. You can also use it for your other toys like motorcycles, snowmobiles etc. I bought this one from autozone for about $20. http://www.zbattery.com/SEM-1562A-Schumacher-1-5-Amp-6-12V-Battery-Companion-Charger?gclid=COvHle2TxLoCFStp7AodlD0AvQ

My grandaughter's Fisher Price Barbie jeep is running slow. I have charged the battery twice and it doesn't make a difference. How can I check to make sure it isn't a bad charger before

Test the charger with a ohm meter, or you could take the vehicle to a Power Wheels service station, they can test the battery for you to see if it is good.



You can find your closest service center here: http://service.mattel.com/us/powerwheels_info.asp

If you end up needing a replacement battery or charger they can be found here: http://www.mendingshed.com/powwheelbat.html

Let us know if you need any more help.

After a year in storage, jeep won't work.

the radio runs off of a seperate battery source, so that wouldn't have any effect on this, i would first of all check the battery and charger with a multimeter and make sure that they are showing the correct voltage, if its a 12v battery make sure that they are showing at least 12 volts, if its a 6v battery make sure that its showing at least 6v

We have a Barbie jeep and other power wheels vehicles. They all seem to be having the same problem - they won't run! We bought a new battery and one of the cars will run for a short time. The others...

Most auto parts store carry a load meter that will check the health of the battery. Go through the jeep first however and check that all connections are good and no wires are touching each other which would cause a dead short and drain batteries. That includes the speed pedal.
