Feed motors don't turn when printing

What did I do to stop the filament feed to not turn? I calibrated the E step now no feed during print. If I load/unload filament they turn fine. I have an A10M. Even the dog doesn't print now.
Yes, I get filament out during loading of filament. Doesn't appear to be clogged.

Nozzle has been cleaned, HotEnd has been cleaned. Removed the filament and reloaded. Gears turn for this but not during printing. I even tried to print something I previously had no problem with. This issue is for both of my extruders. I changed the mix from 100/0 to 0/100 and still nothing. Is there something that I inadvertently changed on my display? The dog gcode should not have changed so that should have printed. Gears don't turn up by the filament.

Just check if your flow is not at 0%.
You may also reset the settings to default
Last thing, Update the firmware with arduino 1.8.5

This brings up another question not related to extruder flow but since firmware was brought up, is it worth having a BLTouch? To do this I have to update firmware anyway. So if updating the firmware for the flow, then I might as well add the BLTouch and stop trying to level the bed myself. Does this make sense? Anyone else happy they have the Touch?
Thank you for the advice and suggestions
