I have a 2024 cub cadet ztx4 60 mower with a mulch kit. If the grass is wet at all it loads up with grass and bogs down. Today I started mowing while there was still some dew on so about half way through I wanted to clean the deck. So I had my wife come out and set on seat, engage the blades, and meanwhile I shot a stream of water under the deck. 2-3 minutes and the deck was clean.
The problem is that my wife happened to be home, if not for her I couldn’t have washed it out because of the seat safety switch; I want to be able to disassemble it.
I follow the instructions/suggestions on YouTube but my wiring is different. Instead of the four wire bus mine has a two wire bus on the center two wires. I removed the bus and the mower now dies if I do anything but sit still.
Does anyone know what I can do to disable the switch temporarily?

Wouldn't it be easier and safer to install a washout port? If it doesn't have one already?

My old mower had one, this one didn’t come with one.

I figured it out, remove the center Bus, then use a jumper between pins 1 and 4.
