Swap the leads from the switchbox to the coils around, if the problem follows #1 lead, either a trigger or switchbox fail. Check resistance on the trigger leads- brown to white, white to purple, purple to brown- all should read 800 - 1400 ohms.

switch box....most recommend changin' both of 'em.... sometimes tha bias circuit can mask tha actual "bad box"..
