These are the preliminary lines of g-code in my program. When I reach line N200, the router is at the N190 coordinates of 0,0.
The router moves along the diagonal toward x10.8125y78.000 till Y=3.00 then all movement in the Y direction ceases and the router continues to move in the X direction to 10.8125
however, the DRO and toolpath on the Mach3 screen continues along the diagonal to Y=78.000.
I just seems like the stepper signal to the y motor & A slave motor ceases at about 3. This number will vary when the program is rerun between 10 & 11.

I appreciate your initial response. What do you think with this additional info?
I returned the limit switches to their original setup. The shorting them out was just a short term test to see if the problem was in the limit switch circuitry.
