Glad you resolved your problem. You might save yourself some
aggravation and purchase a multi-handset cordless phone. Connect the
base station to your working jack and forget about repairing the other
jacks and wiring. The cordless phone are quite reliable, just keep
handy one working corded phone in the event of power failure.


Yes, the cordless are aggravation free until they start to go bad and
cause aggravation. BTDT. Replaced mine for just that reason about 6
months ago.

Seven phones in this house and while convenient, it increases the odds
of something going wrong.
