I agree with Jay.  However, a safer (and possibly easier, if it's hard to
duplicate the problem) way of testing would be to temporarily add a test
light across the lockout switch, and bring it out to where the driver can
see it.

I setup a length of lamp cord, with connectors at one end that my meter (or
test lamp) leads would plug into, and quick connects on the other end.  Then
I have various terminations, including alligator clips, and quick connect
jumpers, that can attach to the quick connects on the lamp cord.  Easy to
make, and a valuable tool for troubleshooting intermittent electrical
problems.  After just one use, I was glad I took the time to make it.
