Thanks, that is a great tip. Saves a lot of money and easy to do.

[@IndRepair]

Definitely

[@crisprtalk6963]

Hey Martin do you ever get any old Hondas in the shop? I would enjoy watching you work on some of those.

[@IndRepair]

I do, don't work on a ton of push mowers myself anymore usually but I will keep an eye out for a good video candidate

Some of the harness connectors have a tamper switch built in which will prevent a switch bypass. Usually just a plastic clip and spring, which can be removed *for testing*...

[@IndRepair]

They sure do, these would be normally closed switches that have these safeties, or ones with more than 2 contacts. Great tip!

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Great advice, Martin!

[@IndRepair]

Thank you! Crazy how much the price difference is

[@brucedale4465]

My 5450 dies when the steering handles are in operating condition is there a switch for the handles or is it the brake module?🤷🏻‍♂️

[@IndRepair]

There are switches for the handle but normally it is a bad seat switch, brake switch (if it has a separate parking brake), or PTO switch (switch you pull on the engage the blades). I see bad fuses, wiring or switches cause this often. I did not look up the model to see specifics but start by looking at fuses (some have a safety circuit fuse and others don't) then test switches next

TY for Sharing

[@IndRepair]

Thanks for watching! Just couldn't believe the prices on them when I looked them up WOW

[@moorabinda]

Thanks for the video! I have a Z Master where it looks like the seat switch is riveted in. Or am I looking at it incorrectly??

[@IndRepair]

Never seen one riveted in

[@moorabinda]

@ Maybe I just need to get at it from the top. Certainly not easy to remove like the Timecutter. I bypassed the seat switch anyway. Unclear if it’s the problem as it tested ok, or if it’s further down the wiring somewhere.

[@IndRepair]

I understand that completely

[@robcole332]

What a price difference. Thanks

[@IndRepair]

Markup on some stuff is a crazy thing...crazier is that almost nothing is actually made by the manufacturers anymore

[@frankie7508]

This video demonstrates why this professional mechanic is in a league of very few. Great job!!! 👍👍👍
