Look at the diagnostics page. When it homes, the LED should come on, then go off as it backs off. Are you saying the LED stays on?

It's only supposed to back off the switch enough for the switch to open.

So after you home, the LED doesn't go out? Is there an error message?

Last time I ask this. When the machine hits the switch, the light comes on, But, does it stay on, or go out.

stays on

Thanks for the help on this Gerry Im very new to all this, The light stays on, with no error, the axis pulls at home but does not back off the switch, It also sometimes triggers a estop limit switch half way through a jog could this be switch noise ?

If you get a limit error without hitting a limit, then yes, it's switch noise, which is most likely causing the homing problem. In general config, upper right, set a debounce of 2000 and see if it'll then back off the switch. It only backs off a very small amount, but the LED should be off.
