#1 Make sure there are no more fuses first.
#2 I've seen a safety switch the problem. This could be under the seat. A quick way to diagnose this would be to unplug the switch and use a paper clip and put inside the plug to create a circuit. If this works replace the switch. Then again maybe it's just unplugged too.
