Lucky for you I worked at the Deere test site where the CT332 was tested for durability. As Jonathan noted you need to make sure your seat switch is being activated as well as your seat belt switch. A good test for the seat switch is: Get in the machine with the key off. Did the display lights and guages come on? If not you have a problem with the seat switch. It is in the bottom cushion. There is also a simple test for the seat belt switch. Look at the monitor before you plug in your seatbelt. The seatbelt light should be on. Once you connect your seatbelt the light should go off. If not you have found your problem.
I changed companies. I no longer work for Deere, so I dont have service advisor anymore to look at the schmatic, so I cant give you any continuity tests. You will have to figure that out on your own. Do your hydraulics enable. If so you need not worry about the above trouble shooting If both of your switches seem to be operating then you should look at your park brake solenoid. If I remember correctly the parkbrake valve should be on the LH side of the pumps (looking in with cab raised) and the two speed on the right. You should pull the wires on the park brake solenoid and ohm it out. It should have somewhere between 15 and 30 ohms. If it reads 0 then you have a bad solenoid. Your wiring harness to the solenoid will have two wires. One is power and the other is signal to tell the monior the location of the solenoid If the soleniod checks good then you should suspect wiring problems. A visual inspection is always good. Often a pinch can be seen and repaired to solve a problem. It is also possible that your park brake switch is bad, a bad relay, or even you monitor (not likley) This is the theory of operation: Battery power to monitor-monitor checks for engine running/seat switch/seat belt, and then powers park brake switch-finger touches momentary switch witch sends signal to park brake solenoid-park brake solenoid sends signal back to monitor to relay its location. If you need a wiring schematic your friendly Deere dealer may help you out. If not you may want to purchase a service manual. There is actually a cable on the LH (looking in) with a 5 pin weather pack connector. This cable is located about where your right hip would be if the cab was down and you were sitting in the seat. This will be capped and zip tied to the wall of the ROPS. This is actually for a remote start box. Witout a schematic I cant remember which one does what, but with a multimeter you can figure it out. One wire goes to the batt which is hot all the time. One goes to the fuel shut-off solenoid. One goes to the park brake solenoid. One goes to the starter solenoid. You can essentialy start the machine and enable the park brake. If your park brake will click off then you have eliminated several problems. All of this is assuming that you have an older CT332 using the "servo" style pumps. If you have a brand new 332 joystick control with EH controls and an H1 pump post back for different trouble shooting. If times get bad you can even give me a call (931) 797-0626 while looking at the machine to help you identify parts and trouble shoot.
If I could remember all I have forgotten we would be in great shape. LOL
