When CNC goes wrong

I didn't know what happened but the Z went haywire on me.  Little did I know the term Haywire was closer to the truth than I knew.  I thought it was maniacal at first, but as I checked the screws and bolts I knew this was not the fault..  So I jumped to the conclusion that the motor was bad..  I went on line to order a new one at 50$ I didn't want to jump in and buy a new one right away..  So I slept on it.  All things come to me in dreams..  In robot wars most of frequent cause of dead robots was faulty wiring..  So I checked the wiring and BINGO!  It works and is running fine now.
