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...

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
