My Mower Stalls When The Park Brake Is Released Or If You Try To Engage The Mowe

My mower stalls when the park brake is released or if you try to engage the mower deck. How do you test the seat switch? Which terminals have continuity when nobody is on the seat, and which terminals do when you are sitting on it? It's a 2013 LTX 1040 Model 13WX90AS056 Serial #1L192H30194

Faulty switches are either open or closed, fairly easy to troubleshoot:

Either:
1. Disconnect ONE wire and let it dangle (this OPENS it).
2. Take both the wires and TAPE them together (this CLOSES it).

You may have to do one, then the other, for each switch...
Until you nail it down.
