    The "X"--"Y"--and "Z" connector going from the switches to the ramps board is the black wire placed on the - pin or the other pin and on the extruder plug what way is the blue wire on the connector facing the power plug or facing away from it
    i am unable to find any information on the new style board

    Ok as far as I can tell
    Without pictures on the new ramps
    * black is - red it +

    * at least on my robo the blue wires were the led strips, not a fan and the blue is +. The connectors have a slot that mates with the plastic connector on the back.

    The new ramps board is pretty new to all of us. Here are a few pictures of mine hope it helps

    Yes endstops are the black
    And red "wound togather" and they plug into the connector black to -. I'm confused by hotend blue wire thing. The hotend thermistor plugs in back there but the hotend does not. Thermistor wires are red and black on my r1+.

    The only blue wires on the r1+ that I recall are for the leds

    Here is the stepper motor wiring

    I have other photos and am making a walkthrough for going from the new style
    Ramps to the old generic ramps so half the photos are on my phone the others are on iPad. :). But I think I have enough to get you started and can get you the others if still needed after

    Great info on the endstop wires the plug that goes from the extruder stepper motor to the ramps board and has a black plug that has several wires and there is a blue wire on one end and black on the other that is what i need to know the position of the blue wire in that plug is it facing the power connector or facing the LED connector

    Try it one way and if the stepper runs backwards -- turn it around.
    The stepper motor connectors are reversible.
    (and the wire colors are not always consistent)
