I have an airens ezr 1540 zero turn with 15 hsp koler engine. Today a wire jumped off of the clutch where it attaches at one of the clutch 's terminals. This has happened a few times in the past and I have attached it and continues running with no problems. Today nothing. I replaced the 2 terminals and wire going into clutch and it still will not enguage when I pull up on the blade enguage knob. In the past you could even hear a clicking sound if you pulled up on the knob when mower was not running..but nothing today. Does anyone know of anything that I might try to see if clutch is still good or something that I could look for or investigate further?
Thanks for any insight.

Unplug the clutch, engage the clutch knob, and check for 12 volts across the wiring connector coming from the mower. If you have voltage there, then you have a clutch problem. If not, a wiring or switch problem. Post with results and we can go from there.
