Just purchased a used 2016 Silver Eagle, got it home and cut the front 1/2ac., beautiful!! I turned the mower off to clean the grass off the deck, and then it wouldn't start; making sure the arms were fully out, PTO is not engaged, and the parking brake was in the up position, still nothing. I started checking all the switches and their connections with a meter, all good. After 1-1/2 hours of fooling with the mower, I had it all back together tried starting it multiply times, then out of the blue, it started! Since then I have noticed that the mower will only start with the brake in the down position, and it will start no matter if the handle bars are making the switches or not. Backwards right! Reading the previous posts, it appears that it could be the PTO switch or the Safety module? Although I can't find a schematic of the Safety module or how it works.

Thanks for any guidance.
