You can connect to your Shapeoko and do not initialize. Then hold a metal object in front of your homing switches. In the Settings and Debug you can see if the switch activates. If it activates then you may just need to adjust it closer to activate. If it does not show activated with a wrench in front of it then check the wiring. If wiring is good then replace the homing switch. Usualy adjustment is the answer but if it is bad no amount of adjustment will help.

If this machine is new to you then be sure to run the configuration with the correct configuration. You did not say what kind of machine you have. The SO3 is very stable with wiring but the SO4/SO4 Pro have had some problems with wiring connectors. Even the SO3 can have connection problems so tug on both ends of any connectors to see if the wires are loose. The SO3 you can recrimp the connectors. My understanding is the SO4/5 have different connectors that you cannot just recrimp and takes a special tool to extract and crimp.

All switches activate when checked with metal. LEDs on switch light up and on the board LEDs turn blue. I physical pushed the machine (while off) to the back right home area and the switches activated so I don’t think it is adjustment. When initializing the z just keeps going down.

When machine initializes the z goes up first. If z homes then x and y are next. If z fails initialization fails. If your z goes down on an so 3 you picked wrong z. Belt z and hdz run same direction but z-plus runs in opposite direction. What machine do you do have?. Not sure about so4. Rerun configuration and make sure you pick correct z axis. You can go on c3d shopping site to identify z-plus or hdz. A Google search for belt z. A z-plus has a stud at bottom of lead screw with a hole. An hdz has a bearing block at bottom of ball screw. A belt z has a belt in back of z axis

Thank you So Much I had the wrong Z. Everything is good now.
