    How do you bypass a safety switch on a craftman 19.5 mower?
    I have a craftsman riding mower with 19.5 engine an 42 inch cut. When you engage blades or let off clutch it goes dead. When it is running you can disconnect the safety switches an it will run ! What is the problem ?

    Most common is the seat switch.
    It thinks there's no one on the seat,

    It could be a open circuit switch,
    Jumping it would close it.
    Some are closed some are open.
