I was mowing and my zero turn engine died out of nowhere (26hp Kawasaki). So I immediately thought it was the seat safety switch, ordered a new one, installed it nothing. In addition I have checked the following:
Ignition switch - signals continuity at the correct posts in all positions
Relays - both relays seem good, tested continuity
Fuses - all good
New starter - doubted this was the issue
Now I checked volts on the starter solenoid when the key was in the start position and was not getting voltage. When I turn the key I can hear a relay click but will not engage the starter. PTO is in the off position and will click if pulled. Could this be a bad time delay module? Is there a way to test it? It was strange it just shut down like if you stand up when it’s running without the parking break on.
