Sometimes they will show no visual evidence. you have to measure their resistance with a meter.

when i meant "see" i meant testing them with a multimeter

Then started a print and all off a sudden printer started to sort of pritend print in the air with the bed all the way at the bottom. There was no filament coming out. So I emergecy stopped the printer and after that it would throw an error.

Its not the wire. If you take the back panel off and test the leads right on the board you still probably won't get any voltage, i dont.

how did it stop working for u?

Yeah mine does the same... from what people said in the tread i posted it should be showing 12v. Not sure man. But i have a feeling we have the exact same problem. Is your printer still under warranty? I take it its probably not. Let me know if you figure something out.

maybe i need to replace that wire?

You want to do it on both wires. The two white wires that have shielding over them. They are the thickest wires.
Another thing, take the cover off the back of the printer to expose the main board and see how many lights are red. Maybe take a photo of the board and post it.

when i do the clean nozzle and put the leads on the wires it stays on mili volts

Do a quick search online on how to use a multimeter. put it up to a random AA battery and see if you get about 1.2-1.5v if you do you probably have the meter on the right setting.

ok so i put the leads on one wire that goings to the extruder and i didnt see any voltage

Put your multimeter into dc power. And put the leads of the multimeter into the back of the crimped connectors or just remove the connectors and touch the leads to the wires. Put printer in nozzle cleaning mode.

im so lost, when i put the multimeter in voltage random numbers pop up when its not touching anything
