Trailing coils no spark

Hey guys I have spark coming from my leading coils but none from my trailing. I've done a few test and see no spark. What could cause this? Thanks

Well, you only have one leading coil, the one in the middle. Are you sure that neither of your trailing (top) plugs are firing? I doubt both trailing coils would go bad at once.

im sorry I meant trailing coils went bad. there is absolutely no spark coming from either trailing coils, I actually replaced them today with brand new ones. Im stumped on what would cause this. I saw a small black wire (next to the coil wiring harness) with a black connector that looked as the wire connecting to it fell off. I couldnt find ANY wire that connected to this. At night without any wires connected to the coils I can see spark coming from the leading but none from the trailing. Anyone?

When was the last time your plugs wires were replaced? How crispy is your ignition wiring harness?

the wires are new as of today. Could some wiring in the harness be burnt up?
