Thread: Powerdrive w/ Co-pilot not working! Help please!

Might possibly be the control board. On an older powerdrive I had, the motor quit but it still steered. When I engaged the motor with the co pilot or foot pedal, I could hear a clicking sound in the control board. Further testing revealed no power going to the actual motor though. When I put 12v to the motor it ran. I assumed the control board was shot. Gave it away for parts as I didn't want to spend the money on a control board. So if you are hearing a clicking sound, your control board could be shot. Didn't happen to cross the wires did you? If so, it's shot! Don't ask me how I know. :D PS The one I smoked wasn't the one with the clicking control board. That one did nothing!

Thanks for the help Shellback. No, its not making a clicking sound. I checked it this mornig and now the shaft will not turn, but the battery checker still says it receiving full power. Im almost positive I have never crossed the wires. Anyone else have any ideas??

Completely disconnect the copilot and try using foot pedal only. That might help isolate a problem. In other words, plug foot pedal only into the power board circular connector.

sounds like what happened to mine I had to replace the board. easy job. just watch where the wires plug up.

Same thing happened to one of my friends I replaced the board and it fixed the problem can not remember what the board cost maybe 30 or 40 bucks. easy fix just watch where wires go back.

I have plugged the foot pedal in an I still didn't work

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll buy a new board it sounds like. Where you buy the board at?

Save the old control board for me. I need parts for a project................
