This power wheelchair uses a Shark joystick control made by Dynamic. The connecting cable plugs into the back of the joystick control and can be unplugged by pulling back on the lock ring of the connector. Spray electrical contact cleaner onto both the plug and the joystick cable receptacle.
Follow the cable down to the base and check for cuts, nick or pinches and repeat at the base connector. To get to the power module you need to remove the seat and cover for the base. The controller should have 5 connectors plugged into it. One is the power connector, one is the right motor, one is the left motor, one for the joystick plug, one for the charger. Remove these connectors one at a time, spray clean the contacts and plug back in. Inspect these connections on both sides and be certain the contacts are shiny.
A 6 bar flash indicates that there is a right park brake fault. Work the right brake release lever up and down several times and see if this clears the fault. Do the same for the left brake. If you have cleaned the right motor plug at the controller by disconnecting it you can use a digital voltmeter to test the brake. The 2 small wires to the plug are the brake wires and should read 40 to 60 ohms on your meter. If the brake solenoid reads open or shorted your brake is burnt out. The two easiest things to try are moving the brake levers and spray clean all the contacts. The test/replacement of these parts requires a qualified technician. Hope this helps.

Make sure that the battery connections are properlly installed. Low volate or wrong cable connection causes this problem.

As the battery properly charged hs 2800, two LEDs flash yellow when I turn it on.

You can visit this website to find answers on what the flashing trouble indicator lights mean: http://www.pgdt.com/scenter/diagnostics/diagvsi.html
Locate the page that has the controller used on your power chair/scooter and count how many lights are flashing to diagnose the trouble. If your insurance purchased the power chair for you, they may also cover the repairs; contact them for information.
Good luck!
