Cannot get the green led on the smart effector to active.

Does the green LED flash when you power up the Smart Effector, if so how many times?

@Danal I am only getting the amber led when the hot end comes on. The fans are not powering up and no light when when I tap the nozzle

@dc42 No sir

Sounds like the +3.3V or ground wire to the 8-way connector is broken or connected to the wrong pin on the Duet. Probably a bad crimp connection.

Yep, if the fans won't come on, this is a wiring issue somewhere. Time to check all the connections, voltmeter, continuity, etc.

Also carefully check if wires are in the correct order.

@Danal Ok I am getting 3.28v at the 8 pin connector on top of the effector and the same reading on the 3.3v and GND pins those connect to under the effector.

[3DEric]

@dc42 I checked the pins on the bottom side of the effector that connect to the 3.3v and GND and got 3.28v

@Danal @dc42

Thank you both for your quick responses!

In that case, if the LED is not flashing a few times a few seconds after power up, I suggest you ask for your Smart Effector to be replaced under warranty.
