Craftsman riding mower will not start?

I washed the mower and now it will not start. Turn the key and all I get is a faint buzzing sound. Lights will not come on at all. I washed this mower every week for 15 years. 20 amp fuse is okay
Any ideas

Check the ground wire or for any rust in the start switch. I changed switches with a new one but the mower would not start. I found that the wiring plug that attaches to the stasrt switch is rusty and needs replaced. Also, attach jumper cables and by-pass the start switch.
