Bouncing Temp Probe

Just in the last 3 weeks, I have been having trouble with 1 of my 4 temperature probes. I am getting drastic temperature fluctuations, up to a 40 degree swing. I double checked all connections into the BCS and the grounds. Still having issues. Any chance one of these probes can go bad? The data log ...
