Again, I'm not a tech, but from reading the posts. The effects turn on by the footswitch, or if all wires are shorted to ground at the Footswitch jack. I understand that you have the correct footswitch to activate all effects. Two things come to mind.

First the Jack and the plug on the footswitch cable makes it ground thru the set screw of both jack and plug. If the set screw is loose, you might not have a good ground in either the jack side or the plug. Kustom did a dealer memo on this issue that can be found on the tech section.

The second thing might be a bad or break somewhere in the wire of the footswitch could cause problems in checking the effects boards. I'd eliminate using the footswitch for now, and just ground the wires on the footswitch jack to ground.
