This is what I've done. 

Checked wall outlet and its fine. 
Checked power supply it is fine. Black and red is 5 volts. black and yellow is 12 volts. 

This is where it looks odd. The fan and print head are -12 volts. The heater bed decided to start working and it is -11.5 volts. 

Its real cramped in the printer case so I can't easily trace the wiring.

I would have to unplug the power supply from the wall to reset it then it would be fine. It has progressed to the point that anytime I try to use the heated printer bed the power instantly shuts off before it has a chance to do anything.
