Bought my kids a Power Wheels Dune Racer a couple years ago and it's not moving forwards or backwards. I've watched a lot of YT videos and have done the following:

- checked that the battery is actually holding a charge using an amp/voltage meter (it's a new battery)
- taken the entire thing apart and looked for loose wires, broken wires, fried connections, etc
- replaced the shifter
- took apart both rear wheel gear boxes to confirm that everything is greased and spinning correctly (it is)


What I haven't done:
- bought new gear boxes
- bought new foot pedal
- bought new wiring harness
- ??????

Any advice? One random thing it does is when I plug in the battery to the connector at the back and press the door pedal, the right rear wheel will spin for about 1 second and but I can't get it to repeat that over and over again.

Would love to be a hero for my son and fix this thing. He and I have worked on it and I'm stuck. Feels like any YT video I watch I've already done it.

Thanks in advance!

Could be bad motors? If I recall correctly there are no relays or anything on a stock power wheels. Wires from battery to shifter and shifter to motors.

Try reaching out to this guy. He may be able to help you trouble shoot or, if you really want to be a hero, sell you a 24v conversion kit.

Post this on the outdoors board as well. Couple of folks over there have rebuilt or modified PW.

Use the battery and jumper it straight to the motors and see if they spin, then see if you can find the short or break in power.
