problem is in your wiring to the wall switch. If is does not come on,

Paperclip test worked.

Put a meter between the two screws that were successful in the paperclip
test and reading was 260.

Any advice is appreciated from here. I tried to just manually connect the
two wires that were at the wall switch and that did not work.


Hi,
260 what? Volt DC, AC? Or Ohm reading?
