Ran perfect last weekend, this weekend no start, relays are clicking(i think its the middle one out of 5) so I bypassed all safety switches, replaced ignition switch, replaced the battery(was time for a new one anyways) new battery is fully charged, any help is appreciated.

Number 1 through 5 on relays and swap them out until you can see if you are able to start and run mower.

Thank you for the response, I have checked the PTO switch its good. I have swapped the relays around and actually bought a new one and put it in all the spots and still nothing. I have now ordered a new starter solenoid. So if the starter relay is truly the one clicking maybe that will fix this issue

How old is the mower? Lots of hours? If that's the case might want to drop the starter and check the commutator. Neighbors mower did just what you describe so pulled it for them and cleaned the heavily varnished commutator. It's an easy fix if you have the tools and skills. The one thing I would advise is ink marks on the starter case so everything goes back correctly. And disassemble and reassemble the starter under a sheet on the floor. Some starters have compression springs that apply pressure to the brushes and when they come out can travel surprisingly long distances....safety glasses too. The solenoid may not be your problem as they are pretty reliable.
