There are several possible electrical problems that could cause the symptoms from.Faulty switch-clutch: Knob which engages your blades.
Seat switch: Safety switch under your seat to prevent rider from getting off mower with blades turning.

To isolate your problem, you may be able to make a jumper wire to bypass these switches but make sure your feet are not under deck.
