Front wheels on my 2002 gem are locked up. When I jack the front end  
Up the wheels turn with expected motor resistance. The controller is also shot having thrown a 66 code. Any thoughts?

Code 66 is a transistor failure in control.  
Do you have a local “electronic” guy to help?

I am going to send my controller to ride 4 fun. The 66 code should not cause the wheel problem right?

That will be a costly fix.

You say locked, but it turns?

Are the rear brakes locked?  
Or if wheels turn opposite, the motor is locked.
