    Using an Open Builds LEAD 1010 fully loaded with an Blackbox x4.
    Used troubleshooting page to help diagnose...
    The wire as of right now has continuity (Tested with Multimeter)
    Limit swtich works and has continuty (Tested with Multimeter & Trying it on X and Z axis)
    Y axis no matter what is showing triggered on won't go away, which is causing it to stop homing... After homing Z & X.

    I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue with the blackbox or the software side.

    check the limit switch mounting, it is possible to mount it such that the pins or other bitson the circuit board are shorted to the frame, this is bad. put in a plastic spacer or mount it the other way up to prevent this

    If you unplug the Y switch completely from the controller, does it still show triggered (unplug at the controller, to also eliminate any chance of a sig to gnd short somewhere along the extension cabling)

    Yes after isolating it and attempting to rest firmware. Still shows up. I've dissassembled and reassembled it a couple of times after this issue came up. I don't physically see obvious signs of a short or damage to the port
