Gonk you're a genious, it was the interconnect. I did some more swapping. Then swapped out that cable altogether. I checked for continuity with a multimeter, it looked OK, but dang I guess my test equipment wasnt sophisticated enough. No matter, I properly labeled the cable and put it to the side. Connected another cable and voila, it works fine.

I plan to try to see if there is anything I can resolder etc, if they don't work that cables gettin trashed.

I thought my Outlaw was broken. Good, this saves me alot of headache.
