Nov 22, 2019 at 6:46 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica Do you have outlets anywhere that are dead now? Or lights that don't work? Unplug EVERY load and turn off EVERY light. See if that red-capped white wire stops indicating hot. Are you saying the left white wire is either hot or not, depending if the switch is on?
Nov 22, 2019 at 6:35 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica STOP TRYING COMBINATIONS. Look. Obviously your algorithm is to try combinations until one works, then call it good and done. With electrical, many combinations will seem to work that will kill you. If you don't know why you're doing it, don't do it.
