Warning: motor phase A (or B) may be disconnected

Hi ya'll,
Symptoms below. What else should I check? Bad board? Curtains for Moose and Squirrel?
Z-axis doesn't home. Swapping motor cables demonstrates that motor + cable is not the problem.
Error when homing:
Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 2
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 2M906

The message is a warning. It doesn't stop the motors working. One possible cause is that is that you are trying to move the Z motor much too fast, and you don't have enough VIN voltage for that speed.
Please post your config.g and homing files.

The Duet has two Z motor connectors Za and Zb, one right behind the other. You have only one Z motor, so you are using only one of the connectors. Are there 2 jumpers fitted on the other Z motor connector? They should have been fitted already when you received the Duet. See the top right of the board in the wiring diagram at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_Wiring_Diagrams.

son of a ... that was it! Forgot to install them... oops.
Thanks for the help dc!

I'm getting the same error now all of a sudden. My machine has been wired for several months. I've recently been getting anomalies in my prints, looks like not extruding enough on the border, could be layer height and have been trouble shooting. I swapped out the nozzle. Now I get this phase message when I try to home my Z axis. Here is my config.

I found a couple broken wires going to the motor but I still can't get it to work. Now I can't even connect to the board. The light by the wifi antenna is not one and I can't get a COM port by plugging in the USB cable. The only wires that are on are the LED +5v and LED VIN.

Sounds like something is broken I'm affraid. Your 3.3v LED should light up if you have USB or Vin connected (as well as the 5v LED which does work).
Pull the SD card out, see if anything is getting hot; wifi module, CPU or regulator U2.
