VerifiedHello. Are the bunch of whites spliced to each other? Are bunch of blacks spliced to each other? Which wires were connected to the original switch?
We have one more left. Blue from timer to the red feed. black from switch to the yellow, red from switch to the red. if that does not work we need to use the tester. does your tester have continuity checking ability?
