Im on pge 181 and heated the extruder. when I tried to manually move the motor, it wasnt going. How do I determine where the problem is?

Normally the failure of a motor to move is caused by a wiring error and the most common wiring error is that the
pins are not crimped properly and are not fully seated into the connector. Visually inspect the connector going to
the extuder motor and make sure that the pins are fully seated into the connector. See this link:
