How to Fix Our Fisher Price Barbie Motorcycle

Disconnect the vehicle's power source.

Check the battery's charge. New batteries will have at least 18 hours of life, while recharged batteries can last up to 14 hours. When you plug the battery into the charger, make sure the connections are tight and electricity is flowing to the wall outlet to which the battery is plugged. If you suspect the charger is not working, check it with a volt meter.

Look at the thermal fuse. Occasionally, the thermal fuse will trip and shut the vehicle down. The fuse should reset itself in about 25 seconds. To avoid this problem, reduce the load to 65 lbs. or less, do not use the motorcycle to tow anything, avoid hills and do not run into fixed objects.

Check wires and connectors. Wires can come loose and are no longer connected to the battery. Make sure the connector is tightly plugged into the motor harness connection and there are no loose wires around the motor.

Evaluate the electrical switch for damage. Exposure to moisture and water can cause the electrical switch to corrode. If you see corrosion, remove it with sandpaper and make sure all connectors are tight. Replace any melted, broken or cracked connections. The electrical switch can become jammed with dirt, sand or dust. Clear away anything jamming the switch.

Look for motor damage. If the motor is damaged, there is little you can do to fix the problem. Contact Fisher Price consumer relations for further instructions.
