The Power Wheels® 12V Quick Charger will not produce an output until it is plugged into a working Power Wheels® battery.  The charger needs to detect a battery before it starts charging, so no voltage will be present when testing it with a volt meter.

We have a network of over 350 Authorized Service Centers to help you with repairs and replacement parts. These Service Centers have skilled personnel and use only genuine Power Wheels replacement parts to fix your vehicle.  Use our Service Center Locator to find a service center near you.

Battery life will vary depending on how you follow the Charging and Battery Care Instructions. It's also affected by the total number of hours the batteries are used. Average battery life is one to three years.

Make sure you charge the battery for at least 18 hours (30 hours max) before operating your vehicle for the first time.  Charge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of the vehicle.  *It is necessary to charge the battery immediately after use.  It is damaging to the battery when it has been used and then sits without being charged.  After a full charge the battery can sit up to two-three months when not in use.

Due to the technical nature of Power Wheels® products, some Power Wheels® parts may only be installed by our authorized service centers, therefore we’re unable to provide repair manuals or diagrams. Power Wheels® has independently owned and operated authorized service centers that carry replacement parts, batteries, and chargers in addition to repairing vehicles in or out of warranty. Our Service Center locator will assist you in finding one of our authorized service centers in your area as well as provide you website addresses for service centers that offer on-line shopping.

• The very first time you use Car Maker, you need to insert 2 wax sticks. Car Maker comes pre-loaded with 1 wax stick. The second stick you insert is not meant to fit completely inside the machine – it will protrude through the top. After you have made your very first car, only 1 additional wax stick needs to be inserted every time. Please note that ALL wax sticks must be inserted with the point side down.

• DO NOT start injecting wax until Car Maker prompts you to “Please pull down handle.” If you start the injection before this, it can cause blockage in the mold. Blockage can be cleared using the included tool (see CLEANING section in the instruction sheet).

The action button is the button on the hood of the car that you can press down in order to start the game, activate weapons, enter buildings and other zones, and more.

• Once Car Maker instructs you to pull the handle, you must immediately pull it all the way down in one continuous motion until you hear “Complete.” For best results, DO NOT pump handle when pulling it down and complete the injection within 2-3 seconds. If you do not pull it all the way down to complete the injection, Car Maker will keep repeating the phrase, “Please pull down handle.”
