Z-homing trouble

j3dk

Mystery z-endstop trouble.
I have a Folgertech FT-5 with a Duet WiFi, Duex5 and a 3 color Diamond hotend. All endstop are the original Ultimaker like and they are all connected the same way.
Their led and the led”s on the Duet light when hit. I have no probe and they work on x and y axis but not on z axis, why???
Here is my config.g and homez.g:

What the f*#@ is going on?
Any way thank you for a wonderful product and friendly support.

Your Z homing file doesn't do a Z homing move. It looks like a homing file for using a Z probe but with the G30 probing move removed. See #1 at https://duet3d.com/wiki/Common_problems_and_their_solutions.

Now my homez.g look like this and it still dont't work???

G91 ; relative mode
G1 Z4 F200 ; raise head 4mm to ensure it is above the switch trigger height
G90 ; back to absolute mode
G1 X0 Y0 F2000 ; put the head wherever you want it to be when you home Z (omit this line if it doesn't matter)
G91 ; relative mode
G1 Z-200 S1 F100 ; move Z down until the switch triggers
G90 ; back to absolute mode
G92 Z0.1 ; tell the firmware that we are at Z=0.1mm

That looks better.

Can you confirm that the Z endstop switch is at the minimum end of the Z axis?
Have you used either the Machine Properties page of DWC or M119 to check that the switch is working?
What does it do when you try to home just the Z axis? Don't forget that when you Home All, it runs the homeall.g file instead of the individual ones.

Thanks now I made it work

I think for clarification, can you explain what you did to make it work? thx
