Step-by-Step Installation Guide

- Remove the seat of the ride-on vehicle to access the control panel area.
- Locate the old forward/reverse switch and gently unplug the wiring harness.
- Unscrew the mounting screws holding the old switch in place – keep them handy for the new installation.
- Position the new switch (00801-1773) in the same spot, align the screw holes, and secure it with the original screws.
- Reconnect the wiring harness firmly to the new switch – you’ll hear a click when it’s seated correctly.
- Replace the seat, making sure no wires are pinched, and secure any loose panels.
- Test the switch by turning on the ride-on car or truck. Ensure it moves easily in both forward and reverse directions.
In less time than it takes to bake cookies, your child will be back behind the wheel, revving up for backyard escapades.
Why Quick Fixes Matter for You and Your Child

- Maintain Momentum: Quick repairs mean no long waits for service centers or replacement orders. You swap the switch, and play resumes immediately.

- Encourage Independence: Children gain confidence when their favorite ride-on behaves reliably. They learn cause and effect as they control speed and direction with ease.
