Worked like a charm thank you for all the help.

sorry for being a bother but this is weird when I tried adding F1 to the end of the line "M563 P0 D0 H1" and connected it to fan 1 I can increase and decrease the fan speed but it won't turn off.
Now when i added
M307 H2 A-1 C-1 D-1
M106 P0 A2
under "custom settings" and changed the fan to the heater 2 it would ONLY turn on and only for a second when I changed the fan speed.

The lack of continuity appears to have been my misunderstanding of how the continuity test works, sorry for muddling things up.
The part fan does work when connected to the "always on". There appears to be a bubble on directly above the D18 lettering on a chip named F3 ED with to lines at the bottom of it. if that is the problem should i either A) try to remove and replace(which seems like a bad idea given my inexperience) or B) is there a way to change the pins from fan 0 to fan 1 in the firmware, or something to achive similar results?

So I got the hot end hotend fan working fine, but I did a continuity test on the layer fan wires straight from the maestro and it said there was no continuity, is there something to replace on the maestro? or a work around? ps thank you so much for your help dc42

Idk if this is already dead, but now they work, but as with before they dont work when placed underneath the smart effector and attached to the heat sink and layer cooling duct respectively. But before I attach them, same plug and everything just not mounted, they work fine, no loose wires either. Thoughts?

yes they do, i must have somehow melted something in the smart effector pcb that is shorting out the fans and lights. Are they routed together or very next to eachother?

so it would appear that everything on the meastro board is working while everything on the smart effector is working EXCEPT the lights and both fans (i routed around them to test them)

oh yes i was using the maestro board, with the hotend fan and layer fan disconnected the lights arent working either. i fear i may have destroyed it somehow. but at least the probe still words.

something happened, smoke, the + hot end fan path melted the coating off then no lights either. where is the 1amp fuse/what is it labeled? and I don't know the revision but its says straineffector v1.3 cerl ohl 1.2

update: while checking voltages appear to have fried the board, I don't know how would duet like it to inspect it?
