Which fan is connected where?

MdMx220

@Phaedrux
Extruder fan is always on

Parts cooling fan is F1

You should use Fan0 for the part cooling fan and Fan1 for the hotend heatsink if possible. That would match your config and the default fan usage.

If that's not possible, you'd need to change your fan config up.

@Phaedrux
Wouldn't one fan or the other turn on, with the way the config is setup now?

MdMx220

@Phaedrux

Do I need to create the pin numbers using M574? I'm doubting this question, but it's a long shot for me right now.

Phaedrux

I would expect the always on fan ports to work. Are you sure the fan fuse is intact? Did you check it with a multimeter?

Your part cooling fan would only turn on when the heater reaches 45c.

No.

MdMx220

The fuse was checked with multimeter, It's not blown.

I am reading 7.6V across the fan pins. With an external 5V from a buck.

I probed my V_FAN pin, verified 12V from PS.

Phaedrux

And you checked the fan fuse and not the vin fuse?

What do you mean by external 5v from a buck?

a buck converter is a step down converter. you can use 5v on a buck converter to output 12v
