Sounds like loose wire from battery to joystick.
I just had my joystick replaced because it would show yellow and stop
moving. i'd turn it off & back on -then it would work again.
There was a short in the wire in to Invacare joystick. They replaced the
joystick after several other attempts to fix.

I have an Action Arrow Storm with a MK6I joystick. Over the past
several weeks my chair is doing the following:
sometimes when I lock in my EZ Lock the green line that says Driving
will turn yellow and say “Low Battery” and won’t go until I turn it
off/on then it will go……I have new batteries that are fully charged.
The screen also appears to go dim and bright. It also will do it
sometimes going over door thresholds
after this happened a few times it quit while backing up the ramp into
my van. Got same message several times so I finally turned around and
went forward (that didn’t work though today, wouldn’t go forward or
backward)
It also will just quit moving and say Stopping on the green line and
says Release JS – I’ll lose a bar or 2 bars then had full battery when
I turned chair off/on
A few times the screen turns red when hitting a bump and says
batteries have no charge – chair won’t move, turn off/on and it goes,
batteries show fully charged
Now it has started occasionally only going a few inches, especially on
any incline, some days it does fine.
I had my brother check battery connections and he said they were
tight, checked bolt on my chair for EZ Lock and it’s not loose,
released motor locks and pulled them back up.
Even unplugged wires going into motors and plugged them back in
Any suggestions what else to check? I think it has to have something
to do w/ battery connections somewhere but they can’t come until
Friday to check it (been waiting for 3 weeks)
Hoping one of you has had the same experience J
My dearest friends daughter’s wedding is tonight and I can’t go
because my chair is messing up
