Hurray. Now the only other things you need to diagnose the problem are a simple $10 Volt Meter from Lowes, Radio Shack, or the like, and a nice long piece of wire, say about ten feet long, with the thickness of a typical lamp cord, and put alligator clips on both ends of it.

All we will be doing is to first get the signal working, and then we'll do a voltage drop check along both sides of the circuit. This is very easy to do and, for anyone else that reads this thread, it will be an insight in to how to diagnose a misbehaving circuit by measuring voltage drop (both on the hot side of the circuit and on the ground side of the circuit).
