Smartswitch S/s Is A Solid Blue

when i sit on the mower the smartswitch lights up as it should and the s/s is blinking blue. Once i push the code in it turns a solid blue and wont start or turn green. Ive tried reseting the code by holding 1 and 3 down as well as the 1231231231 and 1231231231, then 1 and 3. New battery, fuse is good, bars are in neutral position, brake is engaged, deck is up, im in the seat, and blades are off. Fuel line is open and has new good gas. I was riding it 5 days ago with no issue.

Did you ever fix the problem? I have the SAME issue, very frustrating. I have a Husq zero turn rz46i. Not only does it stay blue, but it doesn't display RED either (as in monitoring the bars, brake, and PTO switch). I am thinking I want to bypass or replace the seat switch first...But I'm checking prices on the entire ignition switch assembly. Thanks doug ([email protected]) Lancaster, OH

By s/s I think you mean safety switch--and if so that switch is likely in need of replacement. See Cause 2 at https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Lawn-Mower/79-311--Ulo0Nmk=/Husqvarna-Lawn-mower-won-t-start.
