      I sincerely apologize in advance for this stupid question but I cannot seem to get my print cooling fan set up.

      When I repurposed my 3d printer for production work I was printing with PETG and didn't need a cooling fan anymore so I took it out. Now it is being repurposed for general use and cannot get it to operate anymore.
      I previously had a fan on fan0 pins to cool the drivers and an led strip on fan2 pins. I added a print cooling fan to fan1 pins and adjusted the config accordingly.
      The fan0 is(or was) set to turn on when the mcu temp got to 45C. I haven't noticed it spinning up anymore.
      In DWC, I see "tool fan", "fan 1", and "fan 2" listed on the status window. I can turn on the led strip but moving "tool fan" or "fan 1" slider does nothing except the sliders move together. I think they move together because I assigned fan 1 to the tool.

      Is there something that I'm missing here?

        Have you tested that fan on an allways-on fan port to see if it's actually working at all?

        Have you tried a different fan on the fan1 port to see if it's the port that's not working?

        The gcode looks correct.

          Yep.. I forgot to try that troubleshooting step before posting. I just made the assumption that the red lead on the fan would go to vfan and black lead would go to fan-.
          After your response, I was like duh. went to test it on the always on port and it didn't work, swapped pins and it worked.
