SOLUTION
Charge the battery. A new battery should have been
charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for
the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for
at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery
longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector
is tightly plugged into the battery, and that the charger is
plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON".
Be sure to charge the battery after each use.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not
last forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending
on vehicle use and use conditions. Replace only with a
Power Wheels

12 Volt Lead-Acid Rechargeable Battery.
Do not substitute parts.
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than two riders at one time, exceeding the 59 kg (130 lbs)
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the built-in thermal fuse in
the battery may "trip", and automatically shut down operation
for approximately 25 seconds. Adjust the driving conditions
to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
Use only on generally level ground.
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to
make sure they are tight.
