   So-called continuity testers can find intermittent connections if they
are bad enough to go high resistance while hanging idle, especially if you
can move the cable around while testing. I have a tester consisting of two
ends, both of which can indicate an intermittent fault in the linking
cable(s), plus tools and connectors.
   I assume you have tried a temporary bypass cable.
