Thanks Derrick! I just replaced the joystick last summer but I think that
wherever the cable from my joystick plugs in might be loose since locking in
my EZ Lock seems to trigger it..Friday can't get here soon enough.

Sounds like loose wire from battery to joystick.
I just had my joystick replaced because it would show yellow and stop
moving. i'd turn it off & back on -then it would work again.
There was a short in the wire in to Invacare joystick. They replaced the
joystick after several other attempts to fix.

I have an Action Arrow Storm with a MK6I joystick. Over the past several
weeks my chair is doing the following:

 

sometimes when I lock in my EZ Lock the green line that says Driving will
turn yellow and say "Low Battery" and won't go until I turn it off/on then
it will go..I have new batteries that are fully charged. The screen also
appears to go dim and bright. It also will do it sometimes going over door
thresholds

after this happened a few times it quit while backing up the ramp into my
van. Got same message several times so I finally turned around and went
forward (that didn't work though today, wouldn't go forward or backward)

It also will just quit moving and say Stopping on the green line and says
Release JS - I'll lose a bar or 2 bars then had full battery when I turned
chair off/on

A few times the screen turns red when hitting a bump and says batteries have
no charge - chair won't move, turn off/on and it goes, batteries show fully
charged

 

Now it has started occasionally only going a few inches, especially on any
incline, some days it does fine.

 

I had my brother check battery connections and he said they were tight,
checked bolt on my chair for EZ Lock and it's not loose, released motor
locks and pulled them back up.

Even unplugged wires going into motors and plugged them back in

 

Any suggestions what else to check? I think it has to have something to do
w/ battery connections somewhere but they can't come until Friday to check
it (been waiting for 3 weeks)

 

Hoping one of you has had the same experience J

 

My dearest friends daughter's wedding is tonight and I can't go because my
chair is messing up
