I suspect both issues are related. If the key is in the run position do you have battery voltage at the voltage regulator. If standard 15 amp regulator The center pin will be the B+. I am thinking you don't have voltage to the regulator which is also effecting the voltage to the fuel...

The thread with the fuse issue was answered in 2019 and the wiring diagram for that issue was post 18. And the thread was brought back from the dead a few days ago with a repair of a regulator grounding issue from member @JNaughton using the testing that I posted in 2019.

Heck, even some of the OEM's won't sell their authorized dealers the tools to adjust them.

Ran into this exact issue last year on new Kubota seat. Replacement seat was slightly different than the original and design wouldn't allow proper seat switch actiivation. For other issues sometimes people don't weigh enough to properly depress the seat.
