Answer 2

if it an intermittent fault, then is probably a loose wire, bad connection, or a break in a wire. just get a multimeter, set it to find resistance, and go along the wires, and check for a high resistance, there Ur problem.

move the wires as U do it it will help to find broken wires.

next time it doesn't work, see if there are any factors that are the same each time it doesn't work, even in the position of Ur body, as U may be putting pressure on a wire, making a poor connection
