Good morning! Snow here all day. It looks like about 5 inches on the ground so far, no moose yet but the cat will be inside by the woodstove!
Yes, that seat switch is problematic sometimes.
Enjoy the day!

Ummmm... Is that just this Monday, or every Monday from now on?

I'm working from home (I forgot my laptop when I left this morning and wasn't about to go all the way back to the plant with it.)
I darted out on my lunch break and I unplugged and re-plugged that switch. It still isn't working. I can't "by-pass it" as the switch is activated when my fat ass is in the seat. It isn't closing the connections in the wiring harness so I don't know how it could be the switch. I'm thinking it's got to be the plug end with the bad connection to the pins of the switch (unless a pin corroded off inside the switch body ). Maybe if I squeeze conductive lubricant into the contact sockets of the plug that will band aid it. Now, if only I had conductive lubricant...

You could jumper it....leave the seat side of connection 'dangling'.

I am leaning strongly in that direction. I'm pretty sure I'm past the warrantee period so I don't really have anything to lose.

Not it! But at least now I can lean off the seat when needed without the engine dying.

According to a troubleshooting article I read, there is likely a short or improper ground somewhere in the wiring harness sending a false signal to the safety interlock system. That should be great fun trying to find it.
