When power is applied to the charging connector it activates a relay which disconnects the power to the main circuits.
-
The main powerswitch is under the large yellow lever and simply applies power from the battery to the control board in the console.
-
A multipole switch is used to reverse the direction of the motor
-
An LED in the console flashes with the sound
-
The sound is provided by a loudspeaker in the base

This switch is controlled by the level on the console and switches the polarity of the motor connectors.

If you are replacing the LED don't forget that the polarity of the wires is important

If you've got sound but no movement then the most likely cause is the battery is discharged or defective. If you have a multimeter you could check the voltage on the battery.
If may also be a motor / mechanical issue. With the power disconnected you should be able to rotate the wheels but it won't spin freely as there is a gearbox.
Movement but no sound? Been charged
That could be a problem with the sound board which lives inside the steering wheel. It's quite a challenge to get to that which is what caused me to write the guide in the first place. I had to clean the switches on that board to get mine to work.
Alternatively could be a loose or broken wire on the speaker which is down in the base, one of the first things you get too when stripping it down.
What do I clean it with? Just polish? Had a look. Wires look fine so im confused lol
