extrusion problem on ender5 S1

hello everyone, I currently have a problem with my ender5 S1 when I ask it to print, the extruder motor does not work (it does not turn), but when I heat it up and I ask it to extrude it does work (the engine is running).

I changed this engine and the problem persists… I don’t know what to do

hello mate,
Normally the problem is in the Flat cable from hotend to motherboard .
you need to buy a new one.

This is a common issue in this type of printers .

hope can helps.

I had the same issue, I used a dozen paper clips to hold the cable together and could only print in the center of the bed.

Using the full bed stressed the cable

To improve the life of the cable, modify the inicial sequence GCODE to prime the nozzle on the right side, so as to not stretch the cable too much

The extruder will only work when the temperature of the hot end is enough to melt filament.
This is part of the firmware operation. The extruder will not run when the hot end is cold.
