Default Help! one of my potatoes is missing.

My 07 nightrain has lost spark at rear cylinder. throwing up code 1354&1355 rear coil low/open-rear coil high/shorted. Checked all wires and connections. everything ok. fitted new coil but still fails to spark on rear cylinder. Can anyone point me in the right direction as im starting to get worried incase its the ECM.

finaly found the prob. faulty ECM.****! after checking all the wires, sensors and replacing the coil i managed to get a loan of another ECM. after reprograming the appropriate pass word hit the start button and she fired up straight away. happy days. only problem now is what make of ECM to put on. i would be very reluctant to put another HD oem one on
