    My part cooling fan won't turn on. I know its not the fan that is faulty because I plugged it into the extruder fan connector and it turned right on. I went onto the circuit board and unplugged it and plugged into FAN1 slot and no power, but plugged fan 1 into parts connection and it turned right on.

    How are you trying to turn it on that is NOT working?
    Your slicer is what tells it to turn on and off and generally it is off for the first few layers.
    For some materials (like ABS) it should probably always be off.

    There is a setting in the slicers to enable/disable the fan and decide when to useit (and how fast to run it -- 10%, 20%, 100%, etc)

    The actual wire is what the issue is. I tested it by plugging it into the circuit board cooling fan that is constantly on and when it is plugged into the long extension wire it doesn’t work. But if I use a different wire in the same port the fan turns on now problem.
