"}<font face=""arial,helvetica""><font size=""+1"">HI MATT ... THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BAD CABLE ..I WOULD CHANGE THE TIP BY CUTTING OFF OLD ONE AND CRIMP ON NEW LEAD TO CABLE</font></font>}. CHECK CONDITION OF WIRE AFTER CUTTING OFF END. COULD SHOW COLOR WHICH OF COURSE IS BAD. I KNOW IT DOESNT MAKE SENCE BECAUSE JUMPER WORKS BUT THAT MIGHT BE JUST ADDING PUSH TO WORN CABLE.."
