Y-AXIS Lenth selftest problem (SOLVED)

I just finalized my mk3s, and when I was perfoming the first selftest, an error ocurred.

It showed, the error:

 Selftest error! Please check:
Axis Length
Axis Y

After looking on the troubleshooting and the forum, and perform all the test (the tension on the belt, puley, etc..), it result that the problem was the heatbed cable that was stopping the movement.

I hope it solve the problem if you have the same issue

Thanks, that helped. I was looking at the belt and couldnt find any problems with the belt, but the heatbed cable was getting stuck.

SOLVED - A Different Issue/Solution
The solution for mine was that the smooth silver rods needed cleaned and lubricated.  Pretty much just the Y-axis, but if you're going to do it, you might as well do all of them.  Below is a link to the cleaning/lubrication process.

Mine was tightening the bearing retainers too much. Just snug enough to keep the bearings from moving did the trick.
