My buddy cut out an old transformer and timer that had been supplying outdoor lighting that no longer worked. This was also wired to the main.
Unfortunately I think his garage lights were also spliced into it and now no longer work. They have a switch in the garage and by the front door.
He now only has 14/3 wire coming out of the wall in the basement near where the transformer used to be and the cut main. What is the correct way to connect the 14/3 wire to the 14/2 main?
I drew a diagram as best I could below:
•Switch 2 and switch 4 used to control a light that no longer works.
•Switches 1-3 and wires A-E are location in a 3 gang box the garage.
•Switch 4 and wire F are by front door
•wire G is in the basement and used to be spliced into the main somehow, goes into a wall near garage, no idea what it connects to.
