    Hi,
    You have a short to ground somewhere in the fuse circuit. Provide the model number and I can probably, but not always, get you the wiring schematic and maybe give a clue.
    Peace,

    Hi Crigby
    Yes your right that's what the problem is. And was, I took the top off the mower giving me access to the harness and I found many wires burned and melted together.And several large worn (no insulation left) Bare wires were they were mashed and rubbing on the frame .I could not tape up all the bad wires.So I replaced the whole harness.And problem solved THANKS For your response
