Usually that happens when you have the logic of your switches inverted in the firmware. If you have pronterface connect the printer and use the command M119 to check the status of your switches. For any switch showing triggered without been hit, switch the ligic in marlin.
If Z only goes down, you have the switch in Max instead of Min location so you will have to change that too unless the problem is with stepper direction. Check that homing is to min in the firmware and that the motor moves in that direction when you home the printer.

Endstop logic:
// The pullups are needed if you directly connect a mechanical endswitch between the signal and ground pins.
const bool X_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstops.
const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstops.
const bool Z_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstops.
//#define DISABLE_MAX_ENDSTOPS
Switch true to false or vice versa depending on how it is in your firmware.
Home direction:
#define INVERT_X_DIR true // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
#define INVERT_Y_DIR false // for Mendel set to true, for Orca set to false
#define INVERT_Z_DIR true // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
#define INVERT_E0_DIR false // for direct drive extruder v9 set to true, for geared extruder set to false
#define INVERT_E1_DIR false // for direct drive extruder v9 set to true, for geared extruder set to false
#define INVERT_E2_DIR false // for direct drive extruder v9 set to true, for geared extruder set to false
And:
// ENDSTOP SETTINGS:
// Sets direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1
So if Z home dir is -1 like it should but your motor goes opposite then change Z direction from true to false in this example.
Now be sure you plug the endstops in the right location, if homing to min, plug it to min.

Alright so know it pronterface is saying that my endstop min is open but endstop max is triggered and the sampe problem still applies..

Unless you really have max and min endstops in the same axis. Disable the endstops that you don't have or switch them the logic.
I personally use all my switches in minimum lication so I always disable max endstops.

Sorry for the long wait Steve I just got off work..Quote

Can you post the end stop settings from your Marlin's configuration.h file
