Switching from Duet Maestro to Duet WIFI

Diagnostics
Board: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 2.05.1 (2020-02-09b1)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.23** I used a multimeter on the cable as well to make sure there were no shorts and it was good.

Are you definitely still using RepRapFirmware 2.x, not 3.x ?
Question: The fuse for the FAN section is for all of the fans correct? At this point I'm open to any suggestions.
I can exchange this board for another one, but I want to make sure that if I get a new one that It works and if I made a mistake somewhere that I don't do that again...
Is there any possible way that I need to flip the connectors over? I know it seams odd since the always on fan works but I had to flip all of the motor connectors of due to the build of the Maestro vs the Wifi boards...
As always THANK YOU !

The fan fuse is for all the fans.
Don't flip the fan connectors. The board is marked with polarity and your fan should be too. connecting a fan with reversed polarity is a good way to kill the mosfet or the fan or both. If it works in the always on port, then the fan is good and the polarity is correct and your cable is good and the voltage is set correctly.
If you've connected to the correct fan port and have sent the M106 command to turn on the fan but nothing happens, then the mosfet for that fan port is likely damaged.
If that is the case you can potentially replace the mosfet if you're competent with that sort of thing. Or you can use a different fan output if available. It might make sense to put the hotend heatsink fan on the always on port and use a working PWM port for the part cooling fan. If you're still short of fan headers but had a free heater connector you could repurpose that as a fan header.

I didn't know what else to do so I just hit the reset button as I wanted to try one last thing before I exchanged the board and finally FAN 1 tuned right on with full controllability. This was in FAN 1 as opposed to the stock FAN 2 position. I powered down and then switched back to FAN 2 to check it and it was still not working.
I'm okay with using a different port, but any thoughts on why the reset button worked and why FAN 2 is still down? Basically, if FAN 1 is working I should be fine correct? Is their separate Mosfets for each port or should FAN 2 be working if FAN 1 is?
Thanks !

How should I configure this to make the nozzle fan use FAN 1 instead of FAN 2 ? Comment out the second line and switch the 3rd line from P2 to P1?

@Stephenbright There's no difference in the command you're sending to fan 0, 1 or 2 in the above (they are all set to manual control), so it doesn't really matter. It's only the comment (after the ; ) that's different.

The tool definition needs to change to assign the fan you want to the tool.

@Phaedrux Where is that specifically?

@Stephenbright use H and T parameters of M106. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M106_Fan_On
The temperature you turn it on is up to you. I have mine set to 45C; hot enough that the fan isn’t on when machine is idle, cold enough that it turns on early when hot end is turned on.
