Yesterday my L3901 cut off during regen when I got off the seat. Now it won’t start. When I turn the ignition the 2 regen lights flash on the dash but engine doesn’t try to turn over. I’ve disconnected and reconnected the battery, but to no avail I’ve tried the search function but it’s not the best. Thanks.

I doubt no crank is regen related. More likely one of the safety imterlocks.

I doubt you would have missed this but make sure that the PTO button/switch/lever is in the off position.

So maybe seat switch?
Not on a L3901 - you can start it from the ground.

I would be asking myself why it stopped when I got off. My L3901 does not do that unless the PTO is engaged or I move the HST pedal - both things I have done when climbing off the tractor.....

Agreed. I never sit on mine when doing regen unless I happen to be working it hard at that moment.
