When I turn my mower on the blade engages and wont stop. Whether I pull the clutch to disengage the blades or not is makes no difference. When I turn the mower off, I can hear the clicking each time I pull the clutch up and down to disengage and engage the blade, so I don't think the switch is bad. Any ideas?
Sound like the electronics and the clutch activator are working. However, it sounds like the clutch pads are not disengaging.
They make have gotten hot and froze to the pully housing or their may be some foreign object caught up in there.
Take the belt off the clutch and see if the pulley housing spins freely (machine off of course).
WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, open the hood and watch the engagement cable. engage mower lever and then disengage the switch sounds happy, possibly the cable is starting to seize up

YOU MAY HAVE A BENT BLADE OR EXESSEIVE BUILD UP UNDER THE DECK
