This is going to be confusing...
I have a junction box pulling power from the house to a detached garage. There is a switch in the house that is supposed to control the exterior lights of the garage. Those lights are also supposed to be controlled by a switch in the garage. There is a second switch in the garage that needs power to control the inside light. Currently, there is no power going to the garage at all... no circuits are tripped as far as I know.
The junction box set up is as follows:
Coming from the house:
(2) black
(2) white
(2) copper
(1) pink
Coming from under ground:
(1) black
(1) white
(1) blue (no idea where this goes to )
(1) green
(1) pink
Currently I have this set up as:
- All whites connected
- (1) house black/(2) pink/(1) garage Black
- (1) house black/(1) blue
- (1) copper wire wrapped around ground screw, then twisted and connected with 2'nd copper wire and (1) green wire.
I am so confused and don't want to mess with it anymore. Currently, house lights have power, but the garage exterior lights (2 of them) do not have power, the inside garage light (separate switch) does not have power, and the garage door does not have power.
I also have to check but it seems that I can't find a single hot wire anymore...
