After swapping out the microswitch, we still have the “brake error” problem. Not sure what to do next except maybe swappping out the entire brake solenoid.

The issue might be the little microswitch at the right brake module.

Thank you both DeanR and Alyssa.

Fortunately, we acquired another free Permobil chair from a local organization called CapeCodHelp!

Now, I have time to fix the old one and will post if and when I find the solution.

My wife’s power chair often stalls out on slight inclines or going over bumps. It throws a “Brake Error 1506” message. We have to reboot to get her going again. I have checked all the connections. Anyone have this issue before?

In the future though, I would like to be able to post things on your forum if that is ok. Do you get the same response I do when clicking on the “New Discussion” button?

My first question is “how do I post a discussion and/or question to the forum?” I first clicked on the “Assistive Technology” forum but when I then click on the “New DIscussion” button, the screen goes almost white/opaque. What steps do I take to post my first question?
