| Feb 5 at 14:22 | comment | added | Bill Chen | @Miles Budnek Agree. Since the transformer used to be connected to box 2, it seems like the power source must originate from within box 2. I tested the 14/2 wire with a voltage tester, but the light stayed off. I’m stumped. | |
| Feb 5 at 5:03 | comment | added | Bill Chen | @ThreePhaseEel Here are pictures of the layouts for boxes #2 and #3. Some wires have been pulled out or disconnected for better visibility. Thanks again for your help! [1]: i.sstatic.net/IFLKB.jpg (box #2) [2]: i.sstatic.net/xe031.jpg (box #3) | |
| Feb 4 at 21:59 | comment | added | Miles Budnek | @BillChen The cable you're asking about is presumably the link back to your panel (unless it actually terminates in box 2?). Power has to get to this light somehow, so something has to connect to the rest of your house's wiring. | |
| Feb 4 at 20:37 | comment | added | ThreePhaseEel | @BillChen can you provide photos of the insides of boxes 2 and 3 please? | |

| Feb 4 at 19:02 | comment | added | Bill Chen | Not too sure how attached diagram/picture. Still learning… | |

| Feb 4 at 18:54 | comment | added | Bill Chen | Thank you so much for your quick reply! I've attached the updated diagram for your reference. I'm still uncertain about the 14/2 wire in box 2—it seems to be a link between box 2 and box 3 without any power. Any insights on its purpose would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your assistance! file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/42/02/2F11BBBE-BEB7-4340-979E-D9F1772E2548/image0.jpg | |
