MK2 print bed goes to far left

For some reason, when i run a print the print head tries to go to far to the left and just rams against the sides for a few seconds before going to the right {doesn't happen on the right side} I have tried running the calibration but it does it during that as well, and once complete the problem still hasn't been fixed.  Any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix this?

Hello and welcome to the Prusaforum!

I suspect that the endstop switch (MK2) on the left side is defective.

Hallo - you can check if your endstops are working. From the Info-Display you go to menu "Calibration" and there to "Show EndStops" (or seomething like this). Then you move the axis by hand until you hear that the switch is triggered. If so there should be a change of the value in the printers display. If you can´t see a change it could be the wirering or the switch.

Best regards, Clemens

Possibly this one could be suitable:

I would check with the Prusachat to be on the safe side.
