There is a fault in the blade engagement circuit. Using a multimeter or test lamp, check the switch, solenoid and wiring. Work logically and patiently and you will find the faulty component (tip - start with the solenoid) Good luck

SOURCE: 2007 Husqvarna Riding mower blade will not engage

Sounds like you electric blade clutch is bad. I just had the same thing happen to my exmark mower. I was cutting grass and the engine just shut down. It would not crank over. Checked the fuses and replaced one blown fuse. The engine wanted to crank over but it was locked up. I looked the engine over and seen that the bearing in the electric clutch seized up causing the clutch to melt.

Testimonial: "Thank you! That doesn't sound like an inexpensive solution. We appreciate your help, though."

SOURCE: When the blade engage knob

I started out on small engine so I'll try to answer this. Like most newer tractors, I'm sure it has an electric clutch that engages the drive belt for the mower deck. The clutch is under the engine on the end of the crank shaft, usually. It works like the a/c compressor clutch on a car. So a few easy things to check would be:
Is there anything jamming the blades or belt?
Is there anything jamming the clutch itself? (extra grass build up,etc)
If not, unplug the switch from the clutch harness & with a multi-meter set to read continuity or ohms, check the resistence to the clutch after the switch. If the meter "beeps" or goes high, the clutch is shorted & bad. Replace the blade clutch assembly.( not easy without the right tools) If it doesn't "beep" or reads near zero, the problem is the switch or a jam. Could be a chance that a wire shorted out in between the two as well. The seat switch can be eliminated because the engine runs. Try that.

What causes fuse to blow every time I try to engage blades?

To engage the blades is it a knob to an electric switch that you pull?
If so does the wire from the switch activate a electric clutch?
Is the wire damaged and shorted to the frame, is the clutch shorted. If you provide the brand name and model number I might be able to find a schematic for your mower.

Video shows an electric clutch but yours may be different but this should give you an idea of where to look. Riding Mower Electric PTO Clutch Won Engage When Hot Problem Fix

The mower starts but the blade switch won't conect yth1542xp

Husqvarna uses an electronic clutch to engage the mower deck. When the clutch works itself out of adjustment it will quit working. Sometimes it will blow the 20 fuse and the tractor will continue to run, but the blade won't engage. When you then shut off the tractor it won't crank again until you replace the fuse. When you attempt to engage the blades again, the fuse will blow again.

Follow this link for a detailed description of the adjustment process:

Blowing fuses

try unplugging the pto, starting the mower and then engaging the blades. If it still blows a fuse the problem lies in the mowers wiring. If not the problem is the pto. Hope this helps

FUSE BLOWS WHEN BLADES ARE ENGAGED CRAFTSMAN MODEL # 917.27686

Most probably you have a wire shorting to the frame of your mower.

Trace (follow) the wires from the switch, checking for any frayed, burned, or bare wires.

Repair as needed.
