Check the wired going to the charge jack. Are they connected?
If both controllers are ZZ can you charge the 27mhz car on the 49mhz? Its ok. Charging circuit is the same. Its different only on the RF side of the fence.
If it chrges then there is deffently somthing wrong on the 27mhz controller. Else its in the car. Can confirm by trying to charging the 49mhz car on the 27mhz charger.
Also sounds dumb but have you tried fresh battries? A ZZ take a lot of current to charge a car from two little AAA batries.
As usual thhe following is at your own risk.
If you have some electronic skills and a meter can use the working/non working one to trace it down. Used this to figure out unknown stereo amps and receiver that went bad.
If the 27 is bad, can do the following checks. Will need a secmatic avaiable from the FCC using the FCC ID number on the back of a controller.
Get fresh battries in both controllers.
Open both controller.
Use a meter to compare different point between the two. Should see some difference between the two. Odds are that is the problem area. Can be more than one point but will help to figure exactly what went wrong.
