Looks pretty common to me. At least you have a panel. I have a friend that
they just put the relays in the attic willy nilly and it IS an bear to
understand.

Low voltage starts out at the transformer and then goes to the switches. As
you close the switch you close the coil and then the 120v power is turned
on.

Get an VOM meter and start out at panel. Do you have voltage on both sides
of the transformer. Then try with a jumper wire to from the transformer to
the relay that is not functioning. If it changes state then your problem is
out at the switch. You do not need both a hot and a negative at the
switches. I usually wire up the coils to the positive side of the
transformer and switch the negative side. I have gotten over 1000 feet doing
this.

To bad you so far away. I would like a challenge like this.


It's about time you took a vacation !!
It will be a challange. I think at least 1 bundle of the wires in
that mess goes to the whole house intercom system. I don't
think that works either and don't even care. If I can figure out
what wires those are and get them bundled up and out of the
way, things might not look so bad.

What does SQLlit stand for ?
