Troubleshooting and Fixing No Power Issue with the KC Cobra Kiddie Ride at Colonie Center Mall

I first started having problems with the K.C. Cobra Kiddie Ride (R7548) at Colonie Center Mall around August 26, 2021. The ride had no power for some reason. I used a continuity checker to verify that there was still power at the mall receptacle to rule that out as a possible problem. After spending a lot of time troubleshooting and tracing the wiring on this kiddie ride, I finally found out that the problem was a faulty timer in the ride that had stopped working. After removing the timer and bypassing it, the ride started working again, at least for a little while anyways.

I went back to the mall for something else a few days later and noticed that the K.C. Cobra Ride was down again with no power! I spent more time trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with it through September and October, including meeting up with my Regional Manager at the time to have him help me try to figure out what was wrong with this kiddie ride. We finally narrowed it down to it must be a problem internally with the EMI Filter/Fuse/Switch box at the back of the ride along the frame where the power cable plugs into it from the mall power.

So, I contacted CTM Group, Inc. Technical Support and ordered a new EMI Filter/Fuse/Switch box for the K.C. Cobra ride. Once I got the replacement EMI Filter/Fuse/Switch box from CTM, I then had to transfer over the original wiring harness and Molex connector from the old EMI Filter/Fuse/Switch box to the new one so I could plug it back into the power supply cable in the ride.

But, the saga doesn't end there! It turns out that for some reason, the new EMI Filter/Fuse/Switch box that CTM Group sent me wouldn't fit into the original mounting hole in the frame of the kiddie ride! The new box was just slightly wider than the original box and I couldn't get it to fit in the original mounting location!

After facing numerous obstacles and plot twists over several months, can I get the K.C. Cobra Kiddie Ride working again? Watch this video to the end to find out what happens...
