Seat Safety Switch
The Seat Safety Switch is mounted inside the seat. It
contains two sets of (N.O.) contacts See Figure 7.18.
• The yellow wire goes to the RMC module. When the
seat is vacant, the contacts close, providing a
ground path to the RMC module. If the seat is
empty, the circuit is completed, de-activating the
RMC module.
• The yellow wire with white trace goes to the brake
switch. When the seat is vacant, the contacts close,
providing a ground path in series with the brake
switch. If the brake is not applied, and the seat is
empty, the circuit is completed, shorting out the pri-
mary windings of the magneto and stopping the
engine.
• The two green wires are ground wires.
• The most common problems are likely to be caused
by bad grounds in the green wires.
NOTE: The seat switch connector is a shorted (N.C.) connector. That means when the connector is
unplugged, a tiny jumper inside the connector shorts out all of the contacts. When the connector is
shorted, the circuit acts as if the seat is empty.
