Strange.  You spliced wires, in the field?  According to  Invacare, that is 
not allowed.  The cable must be replaced. Even field  techs are not allowed 
to do that.
Good Luck 
Best Wishes

My current  chair has a gremlin. After charging full, it might last a block

go up my ramp, hit a  bump, the chair stops and the joystick flashes “Recharge
”. Feels like the  brakes come on.
 
I changed  the batteries, charger, joystick. Still doing it. Then found a 
split in the  cable the joystick cable plugs into, that's hardwired. When 
moved, it sparked.  They cut the bad spot out and spliced it.
 
I thought  for sure it was the cut wire, because it acts like a loose wire. 
But after  they fixed it, its still doing it.
 
What else  could it be? I found a TDX5 Storm Computer Module on Ebay. Other 
than that,  what else can I look at?
