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.

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 (????)

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

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

Also, to add some context for my situation, I needed to jump my battery on my Craftsman T210 after it sat all winter. Couldn't put my boost pack on the battery under the seat, while also pressing the brake, satisfying the seat switch, and turning the key.

Is this safety switch located somewhere else on Toro LX420.

@diymacgyverguy8054 5 месяцев назад

Sadly no idea on those

@jerryt4701 2 месяца назад

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.

Thanks you just made my life a lot easier

@standaffern6595 Год назад

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

@diymacgyverguy8054 Год назад

Yes. The anti tamper is just there so you can't unplug it and leave it unplugged

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

@doncookbc 4 месяца назад

why cant you just cut the grounding ?

@justinberry3991 4 месяца назад

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

@lkfk11 3 месяца назад

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

@vanceogden2482 2 месяца назад

Don't plug back in. In the case of my zero turn skag you need to jump the two outside puns together to imotate a switch closed state as it is when you are sitting down. I had to use a ohmmeter to check my switch to chk the state of the pins when the switch is open vs closed.

@dillonhobbs2289 Год назад

Didn't change anything

@diymacgyverguy8054 Год назад

That stinks, what's your symptoms? I can try and diagnose it from here

@kbengson9163 6 месяцев назад

Same here. Metal piece pulled out, mower didn't give a crap. If I shift slightly on the seat it wants to kill the engine. If I push the blade engagement bar up at the steering wheel to start the blades it kills the engine. If I move slightly off the center seat where the safety switch is depressed it will kill the engine. 😠

@JQUICK21 10 месяцев назад

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?

@johnroberts9133 10 месяцев назад

cutting the wires requires work, cutters, tape, splicing, just pull metal piece out and put the seat down and your done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@dillonhobbs2289 Год назад

Wrong

@donulin2410 5 месяцев назад

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.

@dano9421 4 месяца назад

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

@diymacgyverguy8054 4 месяца назад

Need an electrical tester to confirm power is going to the starter, if no power to the starter then use the tester to make sure its going to the solenoid. If no power to the solenoid then check the key switch to make sure its working.

@dano9421 4 месяца назад

@@diymacgyverguy8054 it was the key switch, junk parts from China

@onlyme8870 Месяц назад

@@diymacgyverguy8054also if it has a park safety switch (which can be bad) test it. Common failure on some.models. or the ignition switch can be bad. Or wire from the ignition to starter makensure it has continuity. Ive had mice chew mine. This is all a tedious process of elimination. Im actually going to trouble shoot a zero turn that doesnt start.. an hour away from me tomorrow. Has new starter and solenoid but was told its had some electric shorts in the past. Leaving me to believe a safety switch or a damaged wire.
