345 won't keep running

[goatman 1]

I have a 2001 345. After starting, as soon as I release the brake, it shuts off. Everything else seems to be ok. With the switch on and the engine not running, I can hear a relay in the ign switch module click as I move the brake pedal. What should I look for?

bad safety switch in seat would cause this condition as well. Take a jumper wire and bridge the connector under the seat.

Thanks, Shortthrow, that did it. I was about to throw lots of money at a free fix!
