Default GTX2154LE deck won't disengage

I have a 2011 GTX2154LE model, with 429 hrs, bought new in 2012

I first noticed this spring at initial start up.

Starts with deck engaged and will not disengage with switch or shut off when placed in reverse with the reverse lockout button in either position.

With engine off and start switch in run position I can hear the clutch engage and disengage when operating the switch.

Once started the switch seems inoperative altogether.

Any ideas here??

Thanks!

Disconnect the "connector" for the PTO. Does the PTO still engage..??

Don't know the specifics of the machine you are working on however.
All these newer machines are crazy with safeties, interlock switches, seat
switches and on and on. Seems like things mechanical are working for you.
Its just getting all the electrical to realize that.
Might be a dog gone seat switch? Maybe not but just throwing it out there.

If you can hear it engage with the key it sounds like a short. Did any mice make the 50th anniversary machine a home for winter? Looks like the wires going to it are Blue/white (12v+) & white (12v-).

Here is the schematic if you don't already have one.

Here is a link to the Service Manual for your tractor,
top line, right column, "Cub Cadet 2000 Series (2011 and after) Service Manual.
Chapter 7 is in-depth on your electronics. Maybe it'll help you.

Not had time to mess with it again.
Read through the service manual section that covers that and my eyes just king of glossed over!!
Makes me appreciate the simplicity of the original Cubs.
Have no clue as to begin troubleshooting this one.

Eyegotcha!
That is why we stick with the old stuff here.
I guess the appropriate term would be "Simple tractors for simple people".

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
