It it is a fuse. Replaced with a 2amp quick break fuse. Just to be sure i then moved the truck up and a few times fast. It blew the fuse again. Replaced it and have done 3 fast carved signs with no issue.

you our are right. It us a surface mount inductor. I just replaced it with a fuse until I get the inductors I ordered. My issue was the Z Axis was completely dead. I have another controller that needs a CPU. Will try
replaceing it in the next few days. This one was blown when I plugged in a scanning probe.
With Christmas coming up and my Carvewright down for the count Ive been working pretty much nonstop on some Scollsaw projects which I just finished the other day for gifts. I decided to check over everything again to make sure nothing was missed.
1. Cleaned and checked every connection again.
2. Replaced the z board and FCC cable.
3. Unplugged the z-motor and plugged it into the y connection. Ran the y-axis test and the z motor works
4. Unplugged the y-motor and plugged it into the z connection. Ran the z-axis test and the y motor works.
5. Checked the bearings on the z truck and nothing is sticking and everything is rolling free
6. Took the belt off to test the z-axis without a load and still get a z-axis error.
7. Checked the encoding disc which is clean and free from scratchs, scuffs or anything that would interfere.
8. Manually moved the z truck up and down starts at 0.000 and goes to 2.950 and back to 0
9. Pulled out the controller and made sure ever was clean inside and checked to make sure nothing was blown.
Does the z motor fail the z test if it is not bolted to the carriage? (All I can think of trying.)
I parked my Carvewright for 5 years (First, off NEVER do this!) since working on gettting it back running I replaced the sandpaper belts with the new traction belts and was running a test project to verify everything was working properly and about 22% through I noticed the Z axis was hovering above the work and had not been making contact with the board in about an inch (4-5%) it stopped when I hit stop and then registered a Z axis stall Error #03-313... Any ideas because it seems to be moving but then reports a stall again...
Check the FFC cable it insure it is plugged in all of the way and that it does not have any breaks/cracks.
With the power off how does the Z truck feel/sound when moving it up and down?
You might have a dirty bearing. Here is a link to the repair documents.. The head cover removal is about 1/2 way down..
