Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): John Deere Sabre LT 1642HS, electrical schematics, mower blade


Question
Was using a lawn sweeper behind mower, dropped off a 2 inch bump; the mower died. It restarted immediately with foot on the brake, but when I unbraked to go, it died. I removed and checked the safety switch (it checks fine). Then I taped switch activated and finished the yard. Then I tested the mower blade engage switch (while foot on brake) and mower dies.  Checked that safety switch and cks ok.  Started to dismantle covers to wire check for shorts--no luck.  I read a similar problem in your file and went to John Deere home page to look for help and/or an electrical diagram of the mower and no luck. Tried several sites w/electrical schematics none had anything for download.   I need a schematic to trouble shoot the wiring and to understand just how all this fits.  Also a couple items on wiring I did check, I did not understand its function--diagram may help.
Is it possible for you to email an electrical schematic for this machine and any other information you think will help me find the malfunction. I'm now thinking it has to be a pinched wire somewhere or a plug that came apart......
Thanks for any help you can be to me.
