My older Dixon ZTR will not start. It is making a clicking sound and the battery is brand new. This is my question- could the seat safety button create the clicking sound?
I understand the very basics of the solenoid and starter. I bypassed the solenoid and it did not start. I got a spark and some sound. ( I was not pushing the seat safety button.)
I noticed that the same things were happening regardless of pushing the safety button or not. In the past, I got it going once by cleaning that button. However, that time there was nothing- no clicking.
I cleaned the button but still get clicking. I just blew it out with a can of compressed air. Should I try to take the button apart or maybe cut the two green wires and connect them?
Can I test the solenoid and the starter without taking them off?
Thank you for your help.

Seat switch is not in the starting circuit.
The PTO, brake, and handlebar position are in the starting circuit.
