Subject: Ferris mower still no go. Electrical problem.


Manitoba
I posted yesterday about this. Mower starts but as soon as you move park lever or steering lever it shuts down. Tested parking brake, seat, and steering lever switches. Test ok. Has 2 relays in circuit switched them with ones from another vehicle. No go. The only thing I see left is a time delay module. Don't know how to test it and dealer has new one but over $100. I'll add a pic of the wiring diagram. Hopefully it's ledgible.

Check your second fuse (A - violet from switch / orange to seat switch)

My reading of schematic is that the time delay modules is okay if you can start the machine.

Did you test the seat switch with someone sitting on the seat?
Sometimes the geometry of the seat cushion eventually doesn’t push the switch correctly.

To be sure, try hard-wiring the two NC connections on the seat switch plug.

I was trying too hard! Didn't even think about fuses. Was the fuse you suggested. Thanks!

You may have a pinched wire somewhere that blew the fuse?

Make sure there is enough engine oil in it. It does have low oil shut down.

Agreed, usually a cooked fuse is froma short.

The voltage regulator on the engine is also tied into the backside of that fuse. If I followed through the connectors properly.

Holy crap, I hope you earn your living doing electrical diagnostics! That was pretty impressive.

My bets are its in your seat safety circuit somewhere. If you kick on the mower deck and get off of the seat in park does it kill the engine like it should? I believe ours kills the engine if the deck is on and you get off the seat.
