I think if you just tighten a larger hose clamp or about a quarter inch wide zip tie around the three black prongs that will lock it in the depressed position and be removable in the future. I was looking for a way to bypass it to check and see if that is keeping my mower from starting, the two outer and two inner prongs seem to be connected and the switch seems bad as both circuits have the same result they engage when pressed down.Hello, I simply put a 'C' clamp on the unit and drilled holes in the tabs, inserted cotter pins. See pic. The 'block' technique simply didn't last because of bouncing and vibration - it failed.
This approach is reversible.
BTW - Don't do this. Good Luck!!
