Scag Wildcat tries to start when key switch is in the run position?

[bbtaylo212]

Motor turns over when key is in the run position. It started when the electric clutch went out. I replaced the electric clutch. I mowed some with it then the clutch stopped working. when I tried to start it, it cranked in the run position. I replaced the switch and switch relay. Didn't help. I took the starter off and had it worked on. I also replaced the wiring harness and the control module. I put the starter on. And the motor still cranks when the switch is in the run position. I dont know if the wires are crossed. Any suggestions? Does the power feed to the selenoid when the switch is turned to the start position? It looks like somehow it is sending power through a wrong wire when the switch is in run position. i replaced the engine with as close of a match as I could about four years ago. it was the same engine CV750 Kohler. The wiring was a little different. It has worked fine until the clutch went out. i checked all the safety switches.

You said you replaced the key switch, are you sure you used the proper switch? Many switches look alike, but you must check the terminals and make sure the old switch and the new switch have the terminals in the same location. They are labeled.
