      So being clicked or not it's not registering? Just as a control, text the other endstops as well.

      If that is the case that pressing the endstop isn't registering at all then there could be a break in the wire or poor connection. In which case reseating the z endstop plug on the board may help. If you have a multimeter you can check the wire for continuity and whether the endstop switch will complete or break a circuit.

          This might help.

          When set to ohms (orange on the left side, infact the symbol below the 600 may be intended specifically for continuity the arrow and the beep symbol), you can touch the two probe tips together and the display number should change, and maybe beep. Meaning there is a connection between them. Touch something metal and it should do the same. Touch two ends of a wire, same thing.

          It will probably be easiest to remove the endstop from the printer entirely so that you can check the wire more easily. You'd basically want to touch one of the wires at the end that plugs into the printer, and the other end at the endstop itself.

            Yeahhh .. . so i think its the actual endstop. Its really wiggly. . i don't think its suppose to be this way . . i just ordered some new ones, and new cables to dead this whole issue. by the time i'm done ill probably have enough supplies for another printer.

                Hmm, yeah wiggly isn't great.

                There is a way to get up and running without a Z endstop at all though. You can configure it to ask you to jog the print head down so that the nozzle touches the bed to set the Z height. Manual probing.

                You'd need to change your config.g

                M558 P0 H5 F300 T6000
                G31 x0 y0 z0 P500
                

                And then in homeall and homez where it says

                G1 H1 Z-405 F3000 ; move Z down until the endstop is triggered
                G92 Z0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)
                

                replace that with

                G1 X150 Y150 F6000
                G30
                

                Then when you try and home it will do xy, move to the center(ish) and there will be a pop up asking you to move Z jog it down carefully and when the nozzle is just touching the bed, hit OK.

                Pretty handy in cases like this. I used this the other week when I broke a BLTouch pin.

                                For homeall try this

                                G1 X5 Y5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
                                G1 H1 X-300 Y-300 F3600 ; move slowly to X and Y axis endstops once more (second pass)

                                G1 X150 Y150 F6000 ; move to center

                                    @Phaedrux Hello again. Ive been trying to fix this issue all day to no avail. After i home my printer and start the print it does not go down to the bed. its about 2mm above and it doesn't print. Ive checked the settings in cura and i cant figure out where its going left. . . Ill post the first few lines. THANKS for helping me once again.
