How to disable brake safety cutoff on Husqvarna mower?

[TexasDad76]

My Husqvarna GT52XLS mower won't start (or even turn over) unless the parking brake is on -- because the brake safety cut-off is always activated. So I'd like to disable this particular "safety" feature, but I don't know how.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Suggestion: Use the parking brake. If you don't, it will kill the engine it you get off the seat, too.

In your mower manual there should be (mine has one) a nice picture showing all the wiring and switches.
Course the PC solution is find the defective switch and replace it.
Someone else has a tread about the same problem.

Here us pic of my brake switch, under the dash. I jumpered from H on my pto switch to the white on the solenoid. This shorts the two white wires from the brake switch.
