I thought this through a little more.... You could also possibly have a wire come loose inside one of the jacks.
Disconnect both jacks, one at a time, to isolate which corner is your problem child. Then, take a 12v car battery, or the TC battery out, physically set it on the ground and run jumper cables to the jack in question.
Hook it up hot to ground one way, then reverse the hot and ground to run the jack the other way.
If by doing this, the jack works fine, you problem lies in the wires between the controller and the jack. If the jack operates intermittently off a separate battery, you have bad wiring inside the jack itself.
