Went to mow this morning and when I engaged the electronic clutch for the blades the engine acted like I'd turned off the key.
I thought the electronic clutch went bad so I replaced it and got the same problem.
Then replaced the engagement switch and same problem, it kills the engine.
Also engaged the switch without it hooked to the clutch,same problem.................
traced the wires looking for a short but couldn't find one.

I'm at a loss to what ta do now.............:ashamed:

Any ideas to the next step?

invest into a wiring diagram, find your problem and quit buying parts you don't need.

This is going to be a safety switch. Check all of them starting with brake and ending with the seat.

Thanks, The bypass of the seat safety switch had came out of the plug.
I'll be soldering the 2 wires together to elemanate them from coming apart.

Thanks again.
