Dixie Chopper mower will not engage 2012 model 2760HP

The wife was mowing and it suddenly stopped. It had no power at the key although the deck lift operated. I found a blown fuse, then a bad switch as well as a rubbed through wire.

I replaced the battery, but now my mower turns off once I go to undo the E-brake, and if I even go to move the control arms. I’ve located the sensors and it doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.

I just had same switch on mine go bad it would run fine, I'd turn off mower clutch switch, shut it off, then wouldn't restart. There is a set of contacts which goes to starter solenoid coil on that mower clutch switch, so wont let you start with mower clutch engaged.. Supposed to be open when running closed with switch off.... Thanks for your video

These seem to be a weak link on most zero turns. I know someone who turns her mower off and in like they are pumping hand lotion. (Did I say enough to insinuate its my wife? Haha!)

I keep saying Generac when I mean Dixie chopper. Also the dead short at the mower clutch caused too much AMPERAGE to go through the mower switch causing an issue.
