How do I bypass the seat safety switch on a 5424 Husqvarna zero turn mower?

I have replaced the seat switch and the switch on the brake. I can start it sometimes, but then when I let the brake off, it dies. How do I bypass these two switches? I assume they're connected

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.

It's not a good idea. But if you must, it's just a switch. If it has two wires, cut them from the switch and connect them together with a wire nut. If it has only one wire, then cut it from the switch, put a spade terminal on it, and connect it to the frame of the tractor.

My zero turn Husqvarna mower Starts good, but kills it when parking brake is taken off! Everything is in place otherwise.

You have a safety switch not working. First check your seat switch. Try to engage the PTO with the parking brake on. Blades should start but die when brake is released. My guess, seat switch. Check it is completely connected, these can be hard to connect. Make sure you hear a "click" when the connector is pressed into the switch.

When parking brake is moved off position, the engine shuts off on my rz5426 zero turn mower.

One of the safety switches is bad or not making contact. Check the switches on the levers and the seat switch.

We just replaced the belt on the deck of our mower. After we reattached the deck, the mower won't start. It won't even turn over. We checked the safety latch on the back of the machine, and it...

First check your battery, it should be around 12.5 volts, if not it is the battery. Because you changed the deck belt, is the mower a manual engaged deck? Make sure the safety switches are working properly. Seat switch, brake switch. When trying to start, do you get 12 volts to the starter? If not, check the 20 amp fuse.

Engine will not turn over

Those boxes are probably relays. Sounds as tho one of your safety switches is not working correctly. Make sure you have the machines brake on, blade off, and any other safety measures are applied, such as the operator is sitting in the seat. Check the wiring connections at all the connections where the safety features are installed. Probably just a connection that is not letting the system know that all systems are indeed applied.
