Question: How do I connect a sourceterm to a coefficientform PDE?

I am working on a model where I want to solve a PDE governing thermoelectrical behaviour. I am using the built-in "Coefficient Form PDE" in COMSOL and I have adapted the equation that I want to solve to the several coefficients one can change. I am also using Dirichlet-boundary conditions.
My problem is that COMSOL doesn´t seem to care what I put in the sourceterm; no matter what I put I still get the same values after I run the simulation. I don´t know why that is, but my guess (which is totally out of the blue...) is that it might be because I somehow haven´t connected the equations to eachother, or atleast something like that?
I think my diffusion coefficient term is correct, because I can´t change that without getting an error when i start the simulation, but I dont understand why the sourceterm doesn´t seem to matter...
My question is if anyone know why the source term behave like this?
Thanks in advance
