I have a Mario Kart 8 Remote control car that has a blinky/flashing red light on the controller. I will be going thru to see whats wrong with it from changing batteries and looking inside.

Hey! 49 year old mama here, and my 11 yr old son had this issue. Watched your video, and thirty minutes later Mario Kart was zooming around the house!! Thanks!
Thats awesome news I am glad you were able to get it back up and running again. I hope you son get more enjoyment out of the toy.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks man! That was really helpful! Stay safe and have fun 😎
Thanks, you as well.
⭐️ The problem for me was over tightening the battery cover on the car. Just loosen the set screws a little.
Thanks for commenting your fix, i am sure others will enjoy another possible solution.
Yup. For me, if the cart is upside down, and the front is to your right, loosening the top left battery cover screw worked. Have to turn the car on from off after the remote is on. Whatever, it works.
That works for me too, thanks🙏🙏
Same thing happened to ours today, 08/07/22 and the batteries in the car weren’t good…we only unscrewed 3 screws that hold the batteries as a couple of them looked really bad so we discarded them all and replaced with 6 new ones and it finally worked! Thanks for sharing
No problem glad my video was able to help you solve your problem.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Due to not having a long enough or narrow enough screwdriver I couldn't expose the internal wiring underneath, but this initial setback helped me to discover that it was in fact just a change of the factory batteries that was the issue. Bingo! A FULLY FUNCTIONAL RC.
I am glad to hear you were able to figure it out. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for doing this!
You're so welcome!
thank you my friend!! The battery contact was oxidized, we cleaned it and it started working again.
Your welcome, I am glad it worked for you! Merry Christmas.
Why does mine have a cord with the control kinda sucks tbh
The antenna wouldn't be the problem since the placement wouldn't have any affect (just like an OnStar antenna can be up, down, or sideways). By trial & error, we (naturally) changed out the batteries, opened the body to see that all connections were in tact, and then tried different ways of turning on the cart. What does work is to turn off both units and have them near each other; turn on the remote, then turn on the cart. Works every time.
Hey you helped me connect my control remote to my motorbike😅 and got it on thrift store for 5 bucks and it works now. Thanks my kid loves it.
Hey, Thats a great deal. I am gald you got it working and your kids love it! Thanks for watching. I am glad my video helped!
Thank you! This worked!
Thats awesome to hear.
THANK YOU! Saw a couple of other videos nobody had problems and they used the batteries already n car. So never thot batteries could b the problem. You mentioned replacing batteries. I did that. Then u mentioned good contact. Did that. It works! (Mayb a little too well, lol)
I am glad I was able to help. Thank you for watching and commenting. your support makes a difference. Plus I hope your kids get to enjoy the car even more.
Excellent, I was able to fix my kids' kart!!! Thanks!!!!
Thats great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Gracias bro. Gracias a ti no bote el juguete. Súper tus indicaciones
If you want to save some time follow these instructions. Once you turn the remote on put the Mario or Luigi Kart into test me. I waited 30 seconds or so then changed it to the on position and it went to a solid light.
Hi, I ran across this video looking for a solution to this issue. My daughter bought my grandkids a couple of these racers, and they love them, but one of them had this issue. With the help of your video I was able to fix the problem. Thanks ! Off to the races !! 😅
I am glad my video was helpful and you got the toys up and running again. I love hearing the good news of someone able to fix the issue your having! Thanks for watching.
so cool car.
Do u happen to know what plugs into that white square thing next to the on an off switch under the car?
I think that was connected in the box when it was new as a test me / try me thing. So people could press buttons in the store.
I could be wrong but i do remember I had to disconnect it when i open the toy, then wondered why nothing else connected afterwards.
I hope this helps. Some toys use that area to charge it up from the controller but they are very small and dont last long.
Mine there is a wire that is connected from the remote to the car. How do I take it off
Thanks, I had the blinking red light but followed your advise to first make sure the cover was on properly and contacts clean...cover was on properly, it still blinked; i just hit the cover with my hand old school style and, voila. Thanks again.
Awesome to here you were able to fix it with some of my help and old school techniques. Maybe others will see this post and give it a quick smack. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The problem for me is a battery connection issue. I can't get voltage readings unless the batteries are positioned juuuuust right.
How did u get rid of the wire that was attached to the remote and the cart???
it should just unplug i believe it was a bit hard but there should be a tiny tab you have to press to be able to pull it out.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the tips.. I think messing with the antenna helped but mine still doesn’t always work. I stuck the antenna into the body (thru an existing hole) it’s still intermittent but seems to work better than it was.
The battery area isn't the best design I guess either just check yo make sure there good contact. or no corrosion on the ends.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I was able to fix the blinking light but it is still not working 😕 I have spent two days trying to fix this crap.. Im returning it..
I dont blame you i believe if they made a toy it should work and not have to mess with it shortly after buying. In my opinion poor manufacturing.
The actual fix for me was bad battery contact on the cart make sure they are very clean reason I know it was it. I used a voltage meter and volts comming out of battery box was 8.5v meaning one of batteries was not making contact and not enough voltage to power the cart as soon and I cleaned it voltage went up to over 9volts. Don't have to play with the antenna or the remote.
sooo keep messing with the batteries? cuz I did everything and still nothing just blinking light
Yes, it can be frustrating for sure. I dont think that battery pack was built very good. Ensure you have good connection to the wires as well.
It didn’t work we tried like about 10 times my son is disappointed any tips or suggestions thanks for trying to help though
did you replace batteries in the controller and the car?
What is that little charging port on the bottom side of the car for?
i think it when its on display in the box. I remember i had to disconnect that when i opened it.
When the car is new in the Box, the remote has no batteries. A cable from that port provides 3 Volts to the remote for demo purposes. It has no use once you upack and put two batteries into the remote.
Thank you gentlemen
Totally worked
I am glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
hola te escribo desde Colombia , compre este juguete pero me preocupa que solo funcione con baterias y no se pueda cargar a la corriente , me puedes resolver la duda si solo se puede con baterias
Esto solo se puede utilizar con pilas.
Tenia el mismo tema, al parecer una pila vieja asulfato los alambres de la tapita, los limpie y asunto arreglado.
Can you take mario off of the rc?
This actually worked for me please try
Awesome glad to hear my video was able to help you.
Mines had the wire from the kart to the controller ripped 😢 not it doesnt want to work, even had the batteries in
there shouldn't be a wire from the kart to the controller. I think it comes that way from the box to allow people to test in the store. You have to turn the car on first then the controller. I hope this helps try replacing the batteries.
Thanks for watching.
How do you make the wheels turn like a cookie
This is very easy. On top of the remote there are 2 round blueish buttons the right side one flips the wheels down and the left brings them back up. Thank you for watching.
For me, the issue was the battery connection. Had to take apart the battery compartment and file down the plastic.
Oh really, Thats interesting was the batteries not fitting properly? I am glad you shared your experience maybe it will helps others as well.
@@TDLDIY the part the is supposed to hit the - was so far down, it wasn't touching the battery at all
@@Notthatcereal ah makes sense, poor manufacturing i guess. But its a simple fix and i know my kids love playing with that toy.
Ma può impennare?
It was the batteries dude....
Mine doesnt turn the wheels. Help!!
Press the button up
Ma può impennare e come
Que estafa lo intenté con mi Luigi y no funciono y haora está peor 😢
troubleshooting 101, check the power source
lol yes correct.
My dang battery’s exploded
oh man thats crazy!
What do I do😭
@@CrunchyChipYT Can you replace the batteries? I thought they were throw away batteries. I could be wrong. I dont have the toy in front of me right now.
I hope this helps.
@@TDLDIY yes they could be but the problem is that the battery acid messed up the power source to reach the batterys
What kind of screwdriver
Should be a philips head
Ugh my remote it’s even blinking
On our kart the batteries were the problem- we put new Duracell's in but after trouble shooting all other possibilities we discovered that the positive end of the Duracell batteries is quite stumpy which wasn't enough to make a connection. Swapped out for Eveready and problem solved
??.
Seriously you couldn't have just started with that?
I was just trying to give other possible solutions that have been reported to work. I hope you found the video helpful. I will keep that in mind for future video to try and go straight to the fix then possible other solutions if there are any.
