4 WIRE MOWER SEAT SAFETY SWITCH BYPASS

Diagnosing riding mower safety switches can be a real pain! This video will show you how to bypass the safety switch for testing and troubleshooting. There is a hidden anti tamper device on the safety switch connector itself that sometimes malfunctions and makes the mower inoperable. This secret hidden switch must be removed in order to even troubleshoot the cause of the mower cutting off.

This video covers many brands of mowers including husqvarna, mtd, yardman, briggs, craftsman, ariens, gravely, exmark, john deere and more and also applies to zero turns and riding mowers.

Thank you for this hack. I have been investigating a no click/no start off and on for almost 10 days. This fixed my problem and did not cost me any money. Many thanks.

Super helpful. I thought it was the switch (and was right) this helped me figure that out. Thanks!

[NobleRooster]

You sir are the man! Thanks for showing us this!🤙

So simple and so effective! Wow. Thanks a lot. The mower still dies once the spindles start to engage, so I guess the problem isn't the seat switch. I didn't think it would be, but worth a try. And now, when I'm bouncing along on my uneven ground, I won't have to stop every 30 feet to restart the blades.

[DannyMayer-xk]

I removed this clip from a Craftsman mower but it still works just like it did with it in place. 🤔

Idea what's going on or how to solve (????)

[standaffern]

So can you leave the anti tamper devise out and put the connector back on the seat and then it will function just fine?

The "teeth" on mine aren't sticking that far as on your video; I can't get pliers on them

[DougNeal-wq]

Thanks, , exactly what I needed to test the sensor.

[NadineGarwood-dtbc]

I need to replace the green connector that plugs into the safety switch. What is it called?

[dennierogerson]

Is this safety switch located somewhere else on Toro LX420.

[JQUICK]

Can't we just cut the wires going to all the safety switches, then join the two wires or fuse them together and tape them up?

[lkfk]

Plugging it back in didn't work. It still works the same.

Let's talk about the wheels and tires on your car. That's why you're showing it off in the background right

[justinberry]

Mine don't have four goddamn "teeth"

I put a new battery and a new starter and a new starter relay a I turn the key and it does nothing, so what am I doing wrong with this mower
