Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear it's for a problem. Did you check for a blown fuse? What type of scooter are you riding. We have wiring diagrams in the tech section.

Welcome to Scooter Doc, oldmanweezer. Does the scoot show any signs of life when you turn the key on? If not, then check out the main fuse at the battery (usually 20 amp) and replace if necessary. You may also have additional fuses like I have that should be checked.  Even if there is damage elsewhere in the charging circuit, you should have gage activity and brake and taillights working when the key is turned on. Get that fixed first and then see if the scoot starts up. Then you can check with a multimeter to see if the charging system is working (at least 13.5 volts at the battery). |

Once you get the problem fixed go out and purchase a Battery Tender they are cheap and they work great. Once a month I hook it up to my scoots battery just to make sure I have a fully charged battery.
