Hello!

I'm a relatively new GEM car owner, and have an issue with mine. During the winter months here in Idaho, my GEM sits idle in my garage. I am pretty good about remembering to charge it every week or so, but I forgot to have someone check on it while I was on vacation for about a month. I attempted to use the GEM yesterday (after I had plugged it in for 10+ hours to charge), but when I turned the key, nothing happened. The panel didn't flash the charge to me (there were no lights, words or beeps) and I could not turn on the headlights or anything.

When I plug in the vehicle, it sounds as if it's charging like normal. Please tell me that I may have blown a fuse or something, and that the batteries aren't dead!

Is there any recommendation for what I need to do? Thanks!

Any chance that last time you were working on it you turned off the master switch and forgot to turn it back on? Otherwise, I'd be checking the battery voltage for a full 72 volts. And then there is the master fuse under the dash on the passenger side....

Check your battery voltage with a voltmeter first. This will determine the battery voltage levels - 11.5v minimum for the charger and control system to work. If any batts are low, charge them individually with a 12v-10a car battery charger. Then try powering up the car again. Make sure the Master Disconnect Switch is turned On.
