Having trouble reestablishing a hardwire doorbell in our house. We have been here 10 years and I never remember it working, and we went wireless for a while but I wanted to return to hardwire.
Remove faceplate in hall which revealed a transformer and wires connected to push button (this from when I took old one off wall). Should be a matter of adding in the chime mechanism and wiring per diagram. Problem is I cannot get any of it to work.
Thought it was transformer, but just bought a new one and no dice. Below is a pic of what I have determined thus far. Looks like junction box is in middle of romex run. Not sure what is up or down stream from this, but the circuit is on the "Garage" breaker (garage lights, door opener, GFCI for for front porch).
I've tested the circuits with a basic tester with the below results. Putting one lead on hot wire and one on neutral and I get nothing. Put one on hot wire and one on ground, I get a 110V circuit. Low voltage non-contact tester shows only high voltage on the hot wire. Ignore the disconnected low voltage run back to front porch.
Have no separated the two neutral and two black to test separately, but figured I would check the TexAgs experts first before burning the house down. Any ideas?
