my mower will not attempt to start when I hit the switch. If I engage the deck switch up and down about 5 times or more I hear a clicking sound around the motor and then it will usually start. Does this indicate that the switch is going bad? When I say it won’t start I mean the motor won’t even turn over. Thanks for any advice it will be deeply appreciated

I not hard to get to it isn't hard to check for proper function with an ohm meter. unplug the switch and there should be 8 pins on the back. With the switch pressed in you should have continuity between the outside prongs in each row except the row with 2 if one of the pins is in the center. And then pop the button out and the continuity should switch to the one side and the center pin.

I checked the switch like you said and it checked out like you said it should.I also checked the brake and seat switches and they check out ok so I will wait until it happens again and go from there.Thanks for your advice I appreciate it very much
