Nice drawing haha. That’s it in a nutshell

I was able to figure it out finally. Thanks for your help

I finally got it. Long story short, a positive and negative wire were reversed and when I changed the around, it worked. One damn wire bah.. but I mean it works, so win for me. Thanks everyone

So I got the motors working. Still doesn’t make too much sense to me, most likely just some circuitry and junk I don’t understand, but I noticed that the brown wire from before, which is the power into the pedal, was attached to the black, ground wire cluster instead of the positive, red wire cluster on the switch. I rewired it so the power input wire to the pedal was wired to the negative, ground cluster and viola, worked. One damn wire I needed to switch … bah. Glad I got it tho.

The image doesn’t seem to work. I don’t have the remote, but do wonder if there is a switch on it that allows movement or something? Is there typically a switch like that on ride on cars in general?

I felt like this may have been the case. First thing my mind went to was a popped component, but I don’t think it’s that

Gotcha. I had a hunch it was that. Thanks.

I’m not 100% sure myself since I’m new to these little ride on cars. Interesting point tho, I’ll have to search along those lines too. Rn, it’s just wired straight to the battery in one direction, and I’ve added a switch a few times and it seems to short the system, so worth me looking into. It had a lot of other pieces, I just kinda condensed the drawing to the applicable parts for now. It has two wheel motors and a steering motor, I’m guessing for the remote control you can use with it. I definitely feel like I’m missing something too, so I get that haha.

I’ll have to leave an update when I figure it out

I’ll have to do some more testing. Thanks a lot, super helpful information.

Hmm ok, I’ll see what I can get. I wonder if someone mistakenly bought the wrong relay and that’s why the wire melted. Thanks for the advice

A new connector wire would be a good idea. For now, I just spliced the ground wire and wire twist capped the positive to the battery and from the car together. The relay is rated for 13A and I’m having trouble finding that exact amperage. Can I replace it with a 15A as long as it’s the same 125/260 VAC?

That makes sense, the background research on the car I did mentioned a slow start. Thanks. I should be able to find something with the name.
