As I was pulling out from a big pile of topsoil the tractor chugged and died, like it ran out of fuel abruptly, not a fast cut off like when a safety is interrupted like a seat switch. When trying to restart I see PTO>NEUTRAL>CLUTCH>DEPRESS on the Intellipanel.
Someone previously cut off the blue wires on the PTO microswitch. I would assume the other end of those wires are connected together somewhere. I did dig around and found a non-factory loop that was in bad shape and reterminated it. But it is not known if this was the PTO sensor as the wire colors did not match, and it did not fix the issue. I did notice that other miscroswitches had blue wires as well, so maybe all switches change color as they travel from the switch?
I checked the fuses in the front and at the dash. At the dash there was a 10A fuse in the TM/Controller2 spot that was blown. This location specifies 5A as well. That was replaced without success. Keystop, panel, and TM/Controller1 have no fuses currently and never had for as long as I've had this tractor, coming up on 4 years.
I have gone through the Operators manual, but I do not have a WSM for a -1 only a -3, so I cannot rely on the wiring diagrams. Anyway, I am dead in the water without my tractor. I put a multimeter on the clutch switch and it was fine open/closed, I don't know why the ECU would indicate the clutch would need to be depressed. Even with the seat removed and disconnecting those two switches I did not get any additional errors on the Intellipanel.
Is there an easy way to test the PTO safety interlock? Are the colors int eh third picture below consistent with a 4740-1 PTO switch? They are black with red and orange with black. Help is appreciated...I have a permit expiring at the end of the month and there is a bunch of work to do!
Thanks,

Here is the PTO wiring that would tell the tractor the PTO is on, when the microswitch is open. The small wires that were connected poorly can be seen sprouting out of the loom in the lower right corner of the picture.
