Some of the harness connectors have a tamper switch built in which will prevent a switch bypass. Usually just a plastic clip and spring, which can be removed *for testing*...
@ Maybe I just need to get at it from the top. Certainly not easy to remove like the Timecutter. I bypassed the seat switch anyway. Unclear if it’s the problem as it tested ok, or if it’s further down the wiring somewhere.
There are switches for the handle but normally it is a bad seat switch, brake switch (if it has a separate parking brake), or PTO switch (switch you pull on the engage the blades). I see bad fuses, wiring or switches cause this often. I did not look up the model to see specifics but start by looking at fuses (some have a safety circuit fuse and others don't) then test switches next

They sure do, these would be normally closed switches that have these safeties, or ones with more than 2 contacts. Great tip!
I did exactly the same for the last time cutter I worked on
Saves so much!
I LOVE the “viola” deal.
Haha like magic 🎩
@@IndRepair 👍
Hey Martin do you ever get any old Hondas in the shop? I would enjoy watching you work on some of those.
I do, don't work on a ton of push mowers myself anymore usually but I will keep an eye out for a good video candidate
Thanks for the video! I have a Z Master where it looks like the seat switch is riveted in. Or am I looking at it incorrectly??
Never seen one riveted in

I understand that completely
What a price difference. Thanks
Markup on some stuff is a crazy thing...crazier is that almost nothing is actually made by the manufacturers anymore
My 5450 dies when the steering handles are in operating condition is there a switch for the handles or is it the brake module?🤷🏻♂️
