Is your nozzle temperature set to at least 180 degrees Celsius (can't remember the exact cutoff)? I think the ender 3 firmware tries to protect the user by not extruding as long as the nozzle temperature is not above a certain value.
I run Klipper firmware on this printer not stock Marlin. I usually print PLA at 210 so the temperature cut off wasn't the problem. I fully heated the nozzle before trying to extrude filament.
Hmmm try connecting the extruder motor wire to another movement motor (x, y or z) and running the extrusion to see if the movement motor moves. You could also connect a movement motor wire to the extruder motor and see if it extruded then
So i think the gears might have been jammed something? Now the motor is turning perfectly fine in the correct plug. Must have just shipped that way from the factory i suppose. Thanks so much for the help!
No worries. Glad you were able to solve it :)
