Steppers Do Not Move (but vibrate/make noise)

Mostly Printed CNC - MPCNC Troubleshooting

Hi, I have the same problem.
I´ve already connected all the wiring, but steppers only make noise when I try to move them.
I pulled out Y and Z axis wires and tried to move the X axis with pronterface but it doesn´t turn at all, only make noise.
Checking the cables, inner wires don´t cross over (I cross them, blue and green, to see if it works, but no movement occurs).

Another test to fix this problem?

Broke this out to its own topic (although it’s now my topic… Hrm…)

I had this issue on my Z axis, it ended being a break on one of the phases of the stepper coils. Be sure you can detect a short between each of the two coils.
