Well Get A New One If You Can

How many times are they blinking?

I believe this fault code indicates a left parking brake fault. Check all the connections from the motor/gear/brake assembly on BOTH motors (sometimes the controller gets confused). Follow the wires from the motor to the controller and reconnect them all. Make sure the free-wheel lever is in gear by taking out of gear, and placing back into gear firmly.

Good luck.

sounds like bad batteries

Hi Bob. Unfortunately in most cases this means that the batteries have gone so flat that they cannot be “revived”. The best thing to do is take the batteries to a local battery dealer and have them checked. You may need to replace them. Another possibility is that because the batteries are so flat, the charging circuit hit a wobbly trying to resuscitate them and popped a fuse button. A simple reset may help. Happy scooting.

Margie,   Yes you may charge it overnight. If you use it everyday,charge it every night. Once the charger senses 24 volts it stops sending a charge,so they cannot be overcharged.  I suggest when you go to bed put on the charger and unplug it when you get up in the morning.

Turned out to be a "doh!" moment. Use the lever on the side of the seat to permit swivel. Unplug Controls connector. Lift seat off unit. Remove battery compartment cover by loosening 2 Philips-head screws on the Charger cover at the rear. Disconnect cable to Electronic Controller at front of front battery. Disconnect the Red and Black battery connectors, the ones that join the 2 batteries. Lift out batteries. Transfer battery connections to new batteries. Reverse the above process to reassemble.
Solved this without any help from outsiders, including FixYa, who wanted to charge me for the solution.

How many times is it blinking?

The Buzz breaks down into four pieces for transport. Electrical connections must be unclipped to separate it completely. It is possible that one of the connections isn't completely clipped together, so my first check (after you have made sure that you have it plugged into a working outlet!), would be to take it apart and then reconnect everything firmly. While you are at it, you should look for any other clip-connections and undo, then redo all of them. Even those that "look okay". Inspect the connections metal fittings for signs of corrosion or dirt that may be causing a high-resistance connection, and clean as necessary. Run you fingers along the wiring to check for any places that my have been damaged, breaking a wire connetion in mid-stream. Make sure the connections to the batteries are clean and free of any corrosion too. Be sure to check the fuses to make sure you haven't blown one, and also push in your circuit breaker. These sometimes trip while charging due to spikes caused by thunderstorms. If you do all this and it still isn't charging, you'll need to open the shroud at the head of the tiller and inspect the connections running up inside the tiller, and the connections going to the PC board located at the very top of the shroud where the thmb-paddles hook into the electrical system. There should be a fuse inside there too, so check that.

Good luck.

Here's a place I found that repairs fried controllers and the price is very reasonable.

Good luck. Hope the PC board didn't cook as well. You'd need to get that from Invacare Dealer.

Take your drive units both out of gear and put them back in that will reset the computer and it started mine working again.

well,,, um try getting it a new power battery?

Your right brake and or motor is bad or going bad.

How many times does it blink?

sounds like it is out of gear

bad charger

sounds like bad batteries or blown fuse which is loacated on postive post of each battery.

To test the batteries you have to check them with a load tester. Just testing the voltage will not show if they are bad.
