My daughter has one of those 12v ride-on electric 4-wheelers (http://www.dumar.com.tw/products/E_Ride_on/ero/big/YH660-6.htm) <--this one, Here's the problem...
It only operates in Forward-High. It has a hi/low switch and fwd/rev switch. There are two electric motors, one on each read wheel. Only one wheel is operating.

Any help would be appreciated.

id definatly think either the switch or the wiring, its 12v system, start checking wires with a test light or volt meter.

I'd start with the switches.

Just get some new switches, there is a 85% chance that'll fix it. Don't cheep out either, you are going to want switches that can handle some current. Advanced auto parts has a good selection of 12v high current switches.

I'll give it a shot...I guess I was over-thinking this whole thing, didn't think it could be something as simple as a switch.

Did you see the schematics I sent you on the other forum?
