    Iv a Countax D1850 (Diesel) - problem with the safety switch of the handbrake.


    Sometimes iv to pull the handbrake leaver a number of times before it allows the engine to start.

    Any way I can bypass this safety switch all together - i dont need it.

    That is also the drive clutch for the blade. There will be a microswitch that probably needs a clean or replacing. You could remove it & connect the wires but I take no responsibility if you do :)

    dont think it is? theres a separate electrical button on the dash for the blade.


    iv searched everywhere, all around the handbrake, and cant find any electrical / safety switch to bypass????

    The switch won't be anywhere near the actual lever. Most are at least one lever removed and nearer to the brake.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
