My ns4710 which has 7 hours on it was starting fine until I parked it outside at 10 degrees F. Tried to start it and it would not crank although all light on dash looked normal and battery checked out as nearly fully charged. I bypassed the seat switch and it cranked fine. Seems likely the seat due to the low temperature did not compress much when I sat in it and failed to close the seat switch. Hope this helps someone.

I have read of similar issues in cold weather. Glad you figured it out straight off the bat!

Great detective work!! I have a foam seat warmer pad. Use it when its cold and I have to plunk my buns on that cold/hard vinyl.
