Trailing Cable Issues?

Well, keeping this printer going is turning into a full time job. I finally got my color issues fixed, now I think my trailing cable may be bad. The printer started giving the "replace printhead" error again, and it was printhead #3, which is the same thing it was doing a few months ago when I replaced the head cables, printheads and carriage PC board. Once again, I can swap the Y-K heads and the problem stays at #3. Eventually I can get it to start printing again, but then today about 1' into a job the black completely dropped out. All other colors were fine. I found black ink pooled all over the printhead cleaning kit, and the #3 spot was covered in ink. Someone on Facebook suggested that I may have trailing cable issues. Thoughts?
