    Hi,
    The 400 series had an unusual thing that could happen on rare occasions if it picked up a stick. Look on the left side above the deck and way up in the inner curve of the running board for the park brake switch. If it is broken, the deck will not turn on and it could blow fuses before it falls completely apart.
    Peace,
    Clarke
