I have had several threads on here and in each and every one of them I have never stated or Implied that I am a Certified Small Engine Mechanic or have run a business repairing mowers. So I do not come on here and dismiss advice I get from others like they don't know anything and are stupid. As I do have experience working on vehicle engines, and small engines with electronics experience on reading schematics I feel I can say I am not a beginner. The way you came across in the post before this one was Aragant and Insulting. You could have easily said I want to help but i am having trouble understanding what you are having trouble with. So let me ask these questions so that I can better understand what you are having trouble with understanding my answers. I bought this mower used from a friend and he said all it needed was a new key switch. I have replaced all the parts on here using Husqvarna part numbers. He had been crossing the solenoid to start the motor. The new switch didn't work to start the motor. That's when I noticed the wiring problems. I checked all the Safety switches for continuity and found the Brake switch was bad but found one of the control arms Safety switches was cracked pretty bad at the prong that touches the control arm. Replaced it as well. Then I took the wiring harness off and did a continuity test on every wire from the starter switch to the PTO switch and from there to the rest of the length of all the wires. Everything good, no breaks in the wires anywhere. Replaced the solenoid with a new 3 post one per parts lookup. Motor stars and runs fine now even when I disengage the parking braking brake but as soon as as I move one of the control arms inward the engine tries to shut off. As someone that is married to a woman that English is not her native or first language I understand how that is. when you ask someone that, that is on an English speaking website the way you did it comes across as very rude an offensive. My wife speaks and reads and writes English fluently but has a little accent from her native language, she still gets asked if she can speak English good because of it. And she is a college graduate. So this is the Model number and the parts I have replaced on it just to get it to start with a key. I appreciate all the advice from the people on here I get because I know I can never know everything about everything. Thanks. MODEL- 967003801-00 (2012-02) Ignition switch-539107541/ 532175566 Brake switch-539113792 Interlock switch-532109553/ 539101080 Solenoid-539101714 As I appreciate everyone's help I hope this information helps you understand what i am explaining on here as I know you nor anyone else on here can see the actual mower I am talking about. If you decide not to answer then have a good day and continued success in helping others.
Husqvarna RZ4824F Wiring Problem

Thank you for the information. I removed the wiring harness and checked each wire individually for continuity from the starter switch connector to the PTO connector and from there all the way to the end of each wire at the other connectors in the harness. All wires were good. No breaks anywhere and continuity through each wire. There are only four poles on the brake switch that Husqvarna uses on this model. Brake switch-539113792. (2-NO and 2-NC)

You mistaking the number terminals for poles. Now if the switch don't look like the image I posted then you have the wrong switch. You should have a six terminal connector.
The 2 pole 4 terminal switch looks like this.

Hi. I appreciate the help. Ok, I meant 4 terminal switch. I have the same switch in the picture you sent. Part# 539113792. The Control Arms use a 4 terminal switch as well. Part#532109533/ 539101080. I replaced one of those because of condition but the other one tested good. I am going to try and add some pictures of the wiring connectors and the brake switch. B switch is for Brake.

Houston we have a problem.
Your wiring is not matching the model number given. Also the 539113792 switch when I look it up here and on the internet all are showing a 3 pole switch and not a two pole switch. Btw I have a couple of the switches setup for my next distributor order as they are the same as the CUB ones I need but at a quarter of the price.
Look like rewiring is needed so it matches the wiring diagram. This depends how good you are at following the wiring schematic and have appropriate wire, terminals, and housings or you just replace the harness and install the correct switch.
Harness is PN 515980501 > 580798101.

I am not sure what is going on because it is the same part number you sent me in the last post that it should be. Thanks for the info.

Well I can't just ordering a $6.50 switch and pay $16 shipping + the below minimum surcharge to get it in from the Husqvarna distributor just to prove that it is indeed a three pole switch.
I can't be any further help so I am dropping out of this thread.

I know I said I will drop out but I will add another point
With those push in safety switches, wear in the switch where it clips in plus wear in the switch plus wear in whatever pushes the plunger down can mean the plunger does not move far enough
Particularly with brake switches I put a self tapper into the end of the plunger to make it longer .
Because of their locations it is very hard to back probe them in situ so people push the plunger all the way down to test them when in practice it only goes 1/3 to 1/2 way down
Then some times there is a build up inside the switch so when it is depressed fully the crud is pushed out of the way so the switch now works again .
And remember this is not face book so we know nothing about the mower or you till we are told
So the safe assumption is the person on the other end knows absolutely nothing and dropped out of schooling after kindergarden
This deters us from using jargon that only techs understand which can result in to poster being injured because they did not understand what was posted
There are thousands of people on this forum and unless your thread goes on for a very long time I for one will never remember you as there are up to 100 posts a day most of which I skim over so you could have been here 20 times but few will remember you as we are primarily concerned about your mower problems
Australia does not have a fire arm problem so we tend to be blunt & strait forward ( very similar to Germans )
