I was running the mower and it was like the mower deck just turned off. It has a electric clutch on it and it just shut off and wont work at all. I played with the wiring looking for a problem and tried it and it came on for about 2 seconds then wouldnt work again. Any idea whats wrong?

Is it getting power to the connector? The connectors often get hot and melt or burn and lose connection. This is assuming the battery has a good charge and all is well with the charging system.

There is power at the switch, the battery has plenty of power also. I think its something to do with a safty or the key switch.
