Seat safety switch TC40DA

[jpbear]

I just got my TC40DA and am trying to bypass the safety switch. Made a jumper with male spades and plugged it into (2) female slots diagonally from each other. There are (4) female slots on my plug. I tried other combinations but that was the one that would let me get off the seat and the tractor still runs. It works other then beeping when I take the e-brake off and start to move. Does anyone have a way to do it so it doesn't beep?

Thanks,
Joe

No personal experience with the DA models, but I didn't think they were much different in operation from my 2001 TC40D:

1. Placing the Range Selector in Neutral.
2. Turn off the PTO.
3. Set the parking Brake.

If it doesn't work that way there may be a problem with the switch.

There is a difference in the safety switch in the D and DA models, and michigander II gave a good link with pictures.

Thanks for the replies. Chris, the switch works fine when plugged in. I just don't like it. The link that michiganderII is good except that my plug is (4) slots in a square not (4) across. I only jumped corner to corner. I will make another jumper to do the other corners and see if that helps. It works now with the jumper I have in. Just beeps at me when I go to start moving.

thanks,
Joe

Hmmm... something still seems weird, can you post some pictures of the switch. Do you have a Fluke or anything else that you can test your switch with... Looks like quite a few people are having issues with these dang switches...
