Vehicle seat switch actuator

An off-highway vehicle comprising:

• a chassis;
• a wheel supporting the chassis;
• a prime mover mounted to the chassis;
• a transmission for driving the wheel in response to the operation of the prime mover;
• a seat frame;
• a seat cushion supported by the seat frame, the seat cushion having an upper surface configured to support a user and a lower surface, opposite the upper surface, the lower surface defining a cavity, the seat cushion moveable between an at rest condition in which no operator is seated on the seat, and a deflected condition in which the seat cushion is deflected with respect to the frame in response to an operator seated on the seat;
• a switch mounted to the frame, the switch having first and second parts movable with respect to each other to open and close an electrical circuit in response to an actuating force;
• and
• a switch actuator mounted to the seat cushion lower surface in the cavity and movable between a non-actuating position when the seat is in the at rest condition and an actuating position when the seat is in the deflected condition, the switch actuator delivering the actuating force as the switch actuator is moved toward the actuating position.
