R4944 HST Seat Problem

[Big_Charlie]

After a couple of years of good service, I'm finally having a very annoying problem with my R4944HST. From time to time, those times getting much closer together, the tractor shuts itself down when moving or running the PTO because the seat sensor believes that no one is sitting at the controls. If I hop up and down a little or shake my booty, it will usually come right back, but it's really annoying and a bit of a safety issue.

Anyone have an idea of what the problem might be and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Big Charlie

check for loose wiring or corrosion on the wire ends, if thats not it replace the switch. just think how many times that cycles in the course of a year.
