Good day I have a BX24 that when you turn the key on it has power but when you turn the key all the way to start there is nothing. So I checked the battery and it’s fine I checked the 2 seat safety switches and the PTO switch they are good I don’t know if there are any more safety switches to check. I looked but could not find any more Than thought maybe the starter or the ignition switch but I don’t know how to test them. Any suggestions and recommendations on what to do next would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am not familiar with the bx24, but other typical safety switches are clutch and hst neutral.
Continuing your troubleshooting, I would check and clean battery cable connections (battery posts, starter connection, and ground). Looking or just tightening these connections is not good enough... remove and clean. Also check all fuses, including the (likely) catastrophic fuse near the starter.
As previously mentioned, a multimeter will be a valuable asset in troubleshooting.
Lastly, how did you confirm that the battery is good?
Best of luck.

Get shop manually and trace wiring diagram from battery all through all safety switches and relays to starter....

Check your hst neutral switch and re-check your pto switch. Both have given me grief in the past and my hst neutral switch needs adjusting again now.
They seem to move just a bit over time, so they test good (because they are) but not quite getting closed all the way. I have to loosen the bolt and budge the switch back into place a bit.
The pto switch isn’t too bad to get to. The hst is a pain, you have to remove the right rear tire to get to it to adjust it’s position.

Sometimes a lever has been inadvertently moved. Moving one just a small amount can open a micro switch. causing the interlock to kill the power. Double check all levers, by moving them, and then returning them to their start positions.
Don't forget the seat switch.
Make sure there isn't a blown fuse. Commonly, they are under the hood, near the dash board. Sometimes there is a single fuse holder, that doesn't look immediately like a fuse holder, so investigate anything in the wiring you find, and verify it isn't holding a fuse.
It can be a challenge to find all the safety switches, especially on a sub compact, but they often run in a loop, so sometimes you can follow the wires to the next one.
If I can easily reach a safety switch, and it's simple enough, I usually unplug it, install a jumper on the wires, then try to crank the engine.

Some times internet forums can cause more harm than help. Let me tell you how someone told me to give yourself a haircut then use the money saved to hire a mechanic before you wind up plastered to the ground like day old road kill.
