Id say that even though you say the operator seat switch "looks" ok the symptom you describe is a perfect match to a defective seat switch and or wiring
I don't know of many riders that have fuses for the lights. Generally the lights run straight from the alternator with ac voltage which is why most lights do not work unless the engine is running. Without knowing the engine model number, you may want to check the ac wire that comes from the alternator and make sure it is putting out alternating current. There should also be another wire coming from the alternator but this wire will have a diode that converts the ac to dc to charge the battery. Hope this helps in some way.
If the link does not work go to ebay and search "briggs alternator"
Most small lawnmower engines did not come from factory with alternator. Usually snowblower, riding mower, commercial mower engines had charging/altnator for lights. Usually if the mower had an electric starter, it would have a charging system(not very powerful however). You could be creative and attach pulley to shaft before clutch or power takeoff and attach small alternator. Look for one that has a built-in regulator to simplify things. Sounds like a fun project, good luck.
