I've only had time to remove the endstops from the ramps and M119 but the Y and Z still show triggered.Quote

So if you set Marlin like this for your endstops:
const bool X_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;
const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;
const bool Z_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;
compile upload etc, then remove all end stop wiring from your RAMPS and give it an M119 what do you get?
If it's "open" then the RAMPS/Arduino are OK
If you short out S and - on each X,Y,Z MIN and MAX with a jumper one at a time and do an M119 what do they read?

You may have to adjust the motor current first. If all the motors are drawing too much current the steppersticks overheat and temporarily shut down. That may ecplain the inconsistencies. There's a tiny potentiometer on each stepperstick. Adjust them using a non metal screwdriver so that a. The steppermotors are slightly warm to the touch, not making any noise while idle, and making 'musical' noises when printing circles for example.
When the motors are working consistenyly, move on to endstop testing.

Ok I followed mel0n's posts and moved the end stop from the rightmost (7th) pin to the 6th. (to the left 1 pin).
I also went into the Repetier Config>printer settings>printer shape> and set HomeX from Min to Max.
This gave me full use of all 3 axis. It now homes for all 3 axis. Print head homes to the front right side.
Not sure if this will be my final axis configuration but at least I have full movement.
Now I can work on leveling the bed. Thanks Guys!!!

If anyone with FolgerTech is reading this, I suggest adding "inspect your RAMPS board for poor soldering" as an early step in the build manual. I didn't think to do that and really wish I had done it sooner.
