I tested my old PTO switch for continuity and it showed it was bad. I tested the new one and it was fine. I replaced it and the blades started fine, but after about 1 minute of cutting grass the blades stopped and I tested the PTO switch and it shows bad. Can a bad clutch cause a PTO switch to go bad?

Side note: clutch was replaced last June.
