@Gost101

Have you tried moving to a different heater pin ?.
I could not get heater 3 working , so moved to heater 7.

[Gost101]

Ill move to heater 7, standby for code changes and status

[Gost101]

@peter247 I moved to heater 7, no change

@Gost101

Are you getting power and self test when you first give it power ?

[Gost101]

The pin does not drop or retract the bl touch is still blinking red while status code:

G28 Z
 
Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move
Error: Homing failed

@peter247 Power and self test?

@peter247

Self test is when you first switch on the machine / give it power , the pin will deploy than retract and go solid red.

[Gost101]

@peter247 It hasn't done that yet so far even after multiple reboots.

[peter247]

@Gost101

if it doesn't do that it is a bltouch fault and not a configuration fault.
pull the pin and see if it is bent

[Gost101]

I legit unplugged the bl touch wires and plugged them back in. It did the move thing and actually homed z. lol

@Gost101

if you get the red flash the deploy and retract doesn't work until you reset it.
reset it by power recycle OR S160 , eg M280 P3 S160

[Gost101]

Granted it didnt stop and kept going but progress

[Gost101]

The Z axis wont stop moving down even after the plunger is pushed in.

[peter247]

@Gost101

can you deploy and retract the probe ?

[Gost101]

@peter247 I can deploy and retract the probe

[Veti]

the wires that come with the bltouch are notoriously bad.

[Gost101]

@Veti Also not long enough to reach my board. lol

Look like you are using G30 to lower the head on homing .
Can't see a fault on your config.g , but i'm on version 3.1.1 which is different.
