Just Got A Jazzy Pride Wheelchair-Need Help With Wiring.

Well, Just got a Jazzy Pride wheelchair. It has three wires going to a plug that is for the power and on/off switch.

I also have a din jack that goes to the joystick. There is also a potentiometer in the circuit to control the speed.

I have seen where I can hook the motors up and run them full blast, but is there a way to hook up to the joystick that is in the wheelchair and cut the wires going to the pins of the joystick and hook them to the EZB?

Will I require a Saber-tooth H-Bridge?

Will i also require a 25A regulator?

I have zero left in my budget.

thanks, Mel

You actually Heard my question. I have a communication problem in my brain and sometimes people do not hear what I am saying. It is not their fault, it is mine.

Dumb question: How do you remove the electronic brake? I have been scouring the internet but have found no "instructions" for that. I am reluctant to pull my motors apart without knowing what I am looking for.

@Brett

There are several videos out there, but this one shows it pretty well.

This made it so easy! Thanks! What sabertooth controller do I need to use with my 24V motors?

@bret.tallent It is the amps, not the volts you need to worry about for the motors. Most people find a Sabertooth 2x25 to be correct. Some use the 2x60 but from what I have seen in Wheelchair motors, that is overkill. Most draw 20amps.
