    When they find out I’m not a good electrician

    Using the attached photo/info and a multimeter, how would the experts test the dusk to Dawn switch on the right side of the box for power in/out? Verified the outlet has 120v, getting no reading from COM to “13V” where the power leaves the D2D switch and terminates

          Put black tape over the lens and wait 3 minutes or less, check for dc volts out at any of those.... black on common red on the other different voltages. Put meter on dc volts

              Boom! Thanks. Why DC, Is it being converted by that sensor?

                I’m sorry AC. I thought that they were Butthurt when they found out you weren’t a Proctologist.

                    Still getting no power to the terminals. Can I unplug the D2D sensor and “jump” that plug to test if the sensor is faulty?

                    Edit* the label says use jumper wire to test, but not sure what I’d jump between neutral, load and line

                        Ok, jumped “load” to “line” and got nothing, still no power at the bottom junction box, still no lights coming on.

                        I did arc load to the f’n box and got a brief reminder of why I hate electrical work.

                          Does it have a fuse? Is there a timer on the top side, if so do you get votage when using it. Does it read different if you switch the white switch?

                            Yeah, back in my high school days, girls got testy when they found out I was not really a OB/GYN. Imagine that!

                              Just got a chance to get back out there and look, No change flipping the switch on to off, No fuse that I could find. No timer either, unless it’s behind the AC plug but when I tried to access it I ran into rivets which to me means “stay out” lol.
