So my Mower decided to not release the brake after mowing the lawn and blowing it off before putting it away. Started fine, I tried to move it and the brake would not release. I tried to manually unlock it and as soon as I started it and tried to move the brake engaged again. I checked the two switches in the control arms and the seat switch. All good.
I had to mow again and this time I said screw it. I removed the brake arms from the brake module. I got half the lawn mowed and had to shut it off for a moment. Then it would not start this time. Figuring a bad brake module I pulled the connector and jumped Black to Green and Pink to yellow. Per a youtube video.. for some reason IT still would not start with the key.. I again I said screw it and used a wrench to jump the solenoid and start it.. It started and stayed running long enough to finish the lawn. After I put it away I tried to hit the started again and this time it engaged.. WTH?
Do I have a bad Brake module which it seems like everything terminates to and causing all this crap?
Do I have a flaky Ignition Switch?
Do I have a flaky Solenoid?
