The power funtion drive on my Invacare Storm TDX 5 wheelchair, which operates the tilt, recline, elevating leg rest and seat elevator has stopped working. The drive switch as it appears on the LED screen goes from drive #1 to #2, skips # 3, then to #4. Is it possible to reprogram the joystick controller to use drive #4 as the power function driver? The power function drive stopped working when the seat was elevated. So, instead of falling down and couldn't get up, I go up but couldn't get down! :0 Also, can the seat be lowered manually? Sincerely, Jeff

1) Yes your power seat functions can be programed into your drive 4,You'll need a programmer or have to take it into a shop.
2) yes the chair can be manually elevated down,You'll want to take it to a shop for that ,because it requires jumping the power to the seat elevator and swapping the wires around and I would never recommend my customers to do such a thing because of electric shock or burning up the chair.

If your chair has a four wat toggle switch("what controls your power seat functions elev,recl,telt,ext) If thats what your using right now there may be a red light that comes on in drive lock out ,If that light is not on follow that wire all the way down it may have been pinched or cut.If so it will need to be replaced.


Problems like this one is hard to trouble shoot over text or phone ,if your four way switch cord is cut or smashed .Your gunna have to take it into a shop just to make sure ,It didnt cause any electrical problems in your chair .

Good luck hope i had the chair in front of me so i could help you more.
