I can get off the mower when the blades are engaged, I can be off the machine and move it forward, I am baffled, my wife will mow sometimes and I want them working for herWhat is it doing or not doing to make you think you have a problem with the switches ?
Walker don't show any manual for a 2008 C model but does shows a MC version. What is your serial number?
Now it does many of the Walkers C series does use the same wiring except some pre 2006 models.
Currently it sound like someone may have bypass the seat switch although a fail time delay or relay are possibles too.
