I used a jumper, let me go plug it back in and try again.

RZ5424 about 15 ys old. Runs fine. Had a fuse blowing issue first. Which led to lots of new switches and parts thrown at it. Two things. Release brake engine stalls, engage pto engine stalls. Has to be a safety switch issue. Tested them all good. By passed seat switch. Engine runs well...
