Guys
Tried moving her yesterday light will come on orange, turn to green, sounds like it engages and then will not move? I know there is a reset and a fuse correct.
Can someone tell me where they are located so I don't have to dig the book out....
If I remember correctly, on the right side, just beneath the seat (you don't need to remove the seat), there's a triangular shaped panel that can be removed. The breaker for the reverse is found under there. It will look like a plastic rectangular switch that popped out. Just push it back in and if that was the problem, you should be good.
I'm not sure exactly where the fuses are located, however.
Redroc, you didnt tell us what year it was so it can be either of 2 different locations for fuse/breaker as mentioned.
If it sounds like its engaging I doubt its the breaker because if the breaker is triped you wouldnt get any power to the reverse motor so no noise.
Take a look under the rear end and see if the reverse motor is loose or worse case in pieces such as in pic.. This was a problem on several early models
