Crown WAV50-118:
Unit turns on but won't move

We were using it and suddenly the machine went dead.. then when we turned it on the battery bar code keeps coming up with the last 3 bars lite up. according to the book is means the rider is not in position. But we are.

The driver platform is stuck about 5 feet in the air. and it wont move at all. no forward/reverse or steering.

We have checked the panel in the front - emergency switch.. the hand sensors, the foot sensors, the gate switch.

This problem has happen in the past but we were never able to figure it out.. after a few days it started working again. But now it went back to the same problem.

The thing is that the flashing lights that are the back of the wave that normally light up when the wave is turned on are not flashing.. I think that is an important clue as to what the problem may be but I can't figure it out... Anyone have any ideas? Thanks again for any help you can provide.

if the strobe lights are not flashing will be foot sensors switches or the little white plug that feeds them. that plug connector is a poorly made piece of work
