| Likely a bad seat switch or problem at the seat switch connector. |

| Agree with Tom to check seat swotch. ALSO check the Operator Presence Relay to make sure the connections are good. With the key ON, manipulating the seat switch (in/out) should cause the OPR to click ON/OFF. |

| Had that same problem with a customer's seat. The rubber part had seperated from the tin part, so when he would let the clutch pedal out, the weight transfer caused it to stall. He didn't want a whole new seat, and said he'd fix it when he got it back home, so he loaded it up, and left! Guess he fixed it. Don't know what he did, maybe he had a good seat at home. RJ |
