      Fan section of config below:

      ; Fans
      M950 F0 C"out4" Q500 ; create fan 0 on pin out4 and set its frequency
      M106 P0 C"E1 Part Fan" S0 H-1 ; set fan 0 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned off
      M950 F1 C"out9" Q500 ; create fan 1 on pin out9 and set its frequency
      M106 P1 C"E1 Cooling" S1 H1 T45 ; set fan 1 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned on
      M950 F2 C"out5" Q500 ; create fan 2 on pin out5 and set its frequency
      M106 P2 C"E2 Part Fan" S0 H-1 ; set fan 2 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned off
      M950 F3 C"out8" Q500 ; create fan 3 on pin out8 and set its frequency
      M106 P3 C"E2 Cooling" S1 H2 T45 ; set fan 3 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned on

      Out 7 is the pin question -(not called out- switched to out 9) and running a fan despite no longer being referenced in Config.

        I'm sorry, but I am having a hard time parsing what this sentence means. Are you saying you are connected to Out7? Or Out9?

          I'm sorry- juggling a few different tasks a responding in between- Hope this clarifies:

          I am using Out9 as I originally intended to use Out 7 since out 7 is always on now.
          since out 7 was now open and always on I attached a cooling fan for the duet in that position. out 7 is not called out anywhere in my config.g

          Summary:
          -out 7 originally used for a thermostatic controlled E1 cooling fan
          -E1 cooling fan started to run constantly whenever board was powered up.
          -Switched E1 cooling fan to out 9 (updated config.g as shown above)
          -Added enclosure fan for board and plugged into out 7.

          I don't understand why out 7 is constantly providing power.

            If you define out7 as a fan are you then able to control it?
            Are you sure you're connected where you think you're connected?
            Photo of wiring?

              Out7 was previously defined where Out 9 is shown in current config. for thermostatic control and it was always providing power.

              -Out7 is not defined at all in Config.g and is always on providing power.

              Please see attached pictures (NOTE-out 7 is show open with duet cooling fan removed)20210108_181925.jpg 20210108_181825.jpg

                Thanks for the better picture.

                I'm not sure why out7 would be powered constantly, other than maybe a mosfet failed on?

                  Not sure. Is this something that would be covered under warranty? (ordered board on December 4th). Thanks.

                    @ekrop If that's the case, yes. Will see what the more electrically minded think.

                      Good morning to all.
                      Sorry for my english.
                      I monunt Duet2 + duex5 on my trex3+, configure firmware with originals parameters, but i can't do good prints.
                      My printed parts are full of ghosting, blobbed angles....

                      what parameters do you use?
                      thanks

                        @polbofree You should probably start a new thread.
