The power disconnect switch near your left knee must be on to charge. 
Common charger problems are bad diodes, capacitor, connections, see past 
messages.

My Wheel Horse is wired much like the 26AE20EA (page 7-16) in the GE 
manual. Direction is reversed by 2 large "starter solenoids" which may be 
damaged. The other 2 are for forward. In reverse a small relay RTN-R in 
front of the dash is energized (which may have dirty contacts - try this 
first).

I've never used it (doesn't seem to work either) and don't see any reason 
to fix it.
