regent hydro 15 starts fine but then stops when I leave off brake /clutch

mower was fine over the summer, left it outside with a little rain one night and came out to start it and it would just die after I leave off the brake, I checked the two switches under the mower they are working I unplugged the seat switch and checked it with a meter and it seems to work, however I now can start the mower without being on the seat, never did that before that I can remember. I saw a post on the net about there are relays that could of gotten wet and caused this issue?

Post Simplicity model number, 7 numbers. your manual including wiring diagrams:Lawn Tractor Manuals | Riding Mower Manual | Simplicity Mowers Hands on, check all wiring and connections for being tight & free from corrosion. Test pedal switch page 2 in wiring schematic, should be in vicinity of brake pedal.
