On our robot, the problem was simply not tightening down all the screws on the jumper block, tightening them down solved it. If the jumper block looks "fried" in any manner (I would pull it out and test it for resistance if the screws are tight) then I would replace it (I believe there are replacements available at Pit Admin if you or other teams don't have one).
