    I finally finished doing my Z-axis upgrade, got everything back together, but now I'm having a problem with the X axis homing... If I press "HOME" for X, it jumps a bit to the right and stops. I can manually move X back and forth via the UI, but I cannot get it to home. Always makes a little hop to the right. I've even tried disconnecting the X axis switch connection, but no difference.

    Help?

    OK, it has something to do with the X-axis switch. If I replace it with the Y-axis switch wire and unhome the bed, X starts moving to the left to find home. So I've got a bad switch or switch wire...

    The X-axis limit switch has a broken wire.
