I worked on the deck (removal and installation several times) of a Craftsman 42 inch riding mower and now the mower does not turn over. I suspect safety switch or wiring problem. How do you test the switches and where are the blade engagement switch and the clutch/brake switch located? I would like to check what is lower that may have been impacted by deck movement. There is no click of solenoid, charge meter moves downward very slightly when key is turned on and battery is fully charged. Thanks

Try jumping past the solenoid with a hot lead directly to the starter.

The engagement and clutch switches should be located on the underside of the body/frame.

Mowerman, this makes about 15 posts whne someone asks a question and never comes back. I think we are sometimes just talking to each other. Are all the hogs dead yet?

So far, and I plan to send your sausage Monday, it should be frozen hard enough by then to make the trip. I was afraid to send it over the weekend.
