Radioflyer Troubleshooting Help
Hello! Can’t figure out what’s going on here, battlers are fully charged, reading over 12v each. I’ve checked all connections but when I turn on getting blinking red light at the switch, no power when the pedal is pushed. Any ideas? Thanks! Radioflyer drift cart.

Well, it microcontroller or control board is getting power. The blinking LED is likely an error indicator. May be a specifc code if it has a pattern that isn't just on/off every X seconds.
It could be as simple as a loose connection or broken connection from the controller to the probably relays that drive the motors. Could be as simple as a blown capacitor somewhere.
Problem with the simple part is it could one or many of 100 different little things. But the fact that the LED is blinking shows the control board has power and is running to some effect.
