Unit starts but wont move

We have a P8000 that starts fine but as soon as you turn off the park brake it shuts down. The seat switch goes off after putting on belt and no codes or lights on dash, any ideas??
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Found the issue, apparently the operator is too large and plopped down on the seat cutting the wires to the seat switch. Go figure...thanks for the help!

Check both the seat switches the park brake switches and there is a relay labeled W/B relay, check it for correct operation......the seat belt and park brake switches are a common failure item...
