X2. Check that board in the cab for any broken solder joints. If you find some and you know how to solder, reflow the connections on the board.

Could also be faulty jacks as well. Speaker cabs as well as everything in/on them is subject to vibration, on top of the plugging in and out of the cable itself, which is known to loosen shit up.
