Check all your grounds for corrosion, wire damage, and contact points. If it did it before you changed the first seat switch and still does it, then its not that. Check fuses is there are any. There are 3 safety features that all work in conjunction. Blade engage, parking break, seat switch. Varying by type of mower.

SOURCE: engine dies when clutch brake released on husqvarna gth2548

First check the seat switch,make sure it is plugged in tightly, these plugs have a safety tab built into them that will cut the engine off if you unhook it,sometimes the plug latch pulls out slightly and this will cut the engine, There are two other switches in the system one on the foot clutch and on on the mower clutch, if you follow the white wire from you ignition switch it will lead you to both of them,check those connections also.

SOURCE: riding mower dies when releasing brake

the seat switch is the problem. the switch itself could be bad, but usually theproblem is that the connector is just not plugged in all the way [by the way, trying to bypass the switch by inserting the wire doesn't work because there is a "switch" inside the connector to prevent you from doing just what you did]

I have Toro 13-38xl dies when I let off brake

Engine dies when brake released is an operator not in seat state (seat switch or relay and/or logic module depending on date of manufacture).

The new ignition switch issue is either the switch is wrong or is connected wrong. Reinstall the original switch and troubleshoot the seat switch circuit.

Husqvarna mtz61 dies when parking brake released.

Possibly the seat timer or other false operator not present.

Wiring diagram is in the operators manual, no cost download off the Husqvarna website or other.

Wot can it be when i start my toro up and lower the hand break then it switch off

ZTR mowers will kill the engine if the operator seat is not occupied and the brake is released. Likely you have a failed seat switch but could be other... it will depend on the particular Toro model.

Where i find brake switch 445 JD tractor tractor quits when brake release but i cant find switch

Left side frame under foot rest.

Suggest you first check the seat switch. Most deere riders you can start/run engine with brake set while not in seat. But operator must be in seat when brake is released. Your in the seat and it dies, so seat switch failure.

But here's instructions for brake switch.
BRAKE SWITCH TEST AND
ADJUSTMENT
Reason:
To make sure the brake switch has continuity when the
brake pedal is depressed.
Equipment:
• Ohmmeter
Connections:
1. Turn key switch off.
2. Depress brake pedal and engage park brake lock.
NOTE: Brake switch is located on left side of frame
under footrest.
3. Remove footrest.
4. Disconnect brake switch connector.
Procedure:
1. Check continuity across terminals (A). Check
continuity across terminals (B).
NOTE: Be sure actuator (C) contacts switch plunger
(plunger depressed) and not switch body.
2. Release park brake pedal.
3. Check continuity across terminals. Be sure actuator
does not contact switch plunger (plunger
released).

Safety switch - parking brake

You can but I wouldn't recommend it. I would get a multimeter and check switches for continuity. This will tell you if switches are good or bad. This switch could be a normally open or normally closed switch that is why I wouldn't recommend jumping it until you know what kind of switch you have. I think your defineitly on the right track though. Good luck.
