Thank you, Mr. Raley. The switch functions are referred to as "normally open" and "normally closed". You did good, brother.

Great idea to test all of those safety switches to make sure they are working on your riding mower

[rogermcdonald]

Very good demonstration T-Bone! Its unbelievable how many of those safety switches get bypassed because they dont know which one is bad, so they disable all of them.👍🎥✌🇺🇸

Thank you T-Bone for such a great class on how to test safety switches, from start to end great detail!

[dongriffiths]

Thank you T-Bone, I appreciate videos with a well prepared instructor! Your shop reminds me of Dads old garage, minus the centerfolds on the cabinets.

I enjoyed the show, hope to see more.

Thanks again T-Bone you know I'm subscribed on both channels and never miss a video. Don't be upset over my suggestion you could have explained better what the tabs actually do when it's not pushed but also when it is pushed. Sorry I know what it does but alot of viewers might not completely understand like I said I do but some might not. Keep up the great work T-Bone. Hope Mrs. T-Bone is doing well. Give her my best let her know she is in my prayers.

I have to agree with another commenter - for absolute beginners you might have explained continuity and resistance so they understand WHY they are doing this kind of testing and how these concepts apply. It would probably help when creating videos to bear in mind the lowest common denominator among your viewing audience.
That said, this video covered the subject very well, so thanks!

You should explain to the people what resistence is. You and I know, but some people don't. Now I know how to test those switches. If I forget, I know where to find you! Thank you sir!

Thanks, I never knew about the seat harness button that has to be push in to.

[troystelly]

Thank you. You shared the exact safety switch I have on my Ferris. I’ve got a no start situation currently. Testing out the battery, solenoid, wiring and adding testing the 4 safety switches. Thanks

[gregs]

Just what I needed now! Troubleshooting a Poulan zero-turn.

[andrewperry]

Very good job explaining everything from the multimeter to the switch and how they work. Informative!!!! TIA

[jamespatterson]

Yeah thank you because I have a John Deere LA110. New batt, New solenoid still nothing. So I'm doing this, testing switches.
Thanks again.

I am currently chasing my problem, and this is the next step, thank you. I can jump start my mower directly from the post on the engine starter and it will fire off and run but can't get anything from the ignition?
