There's probably some easy to use / expensive pre-made tool to do this,
but the simplest (cheapest) electronic tool/method I would think of would
be a simple continuity test as long as you know how your cable runs go
you could match up and check each wire individually and find out where the
problem is/which is the bad cable.
