Man... failure.
Quick story -- went to Lowe's, they had nothing that was the same size as Bryant (newer name is Cuttler-Hammer). Closest place that had one was 35 mins away... so I took the drive and got the exact replacement. BUT ---
Nothing's working thus far. I followed everything in the diagram other then all white wires go to the neutral bar (in separate 'holes' for lack of a better term), and the black wire from the new breaker doesn't have as many wire-nuts (there are some wire nuts in the diagram without anything else to attach to them.
Here's the odd thing. At no point did the GF trip, but I noticed the 'test' button did nothing when attached to almost anything.
Example: If I attach all wires according to plan, the GF breaker stays on, but the test button doesn't trip the mechanism.
If I take everything off, and just have the black wire going into the breaker, but not attached to any load -- then the GF will trip when I hit 'test'.
If I attach just the BLUE wire from the PLW01 to the breaker's black wire... then the GF will trip when I hit 'test'. (maybe this has something to do with that backwards wiring from the previous installation?)
If I attach just the BLACK wire from the PLW01 to the breaker's black wire... then the GF will NOT trip when I hit 'test'.
Ditto down the line -- I even tried skipping past the PLW01, and going straight from the breaker's black wire to the light's yellow wire (as it pops into the panel box) -- but same thing, the 'test' button does nothing. I also tried just adding the PA011, but that caused the 'test' button do nothing as well.
What the heck is going on??
Note: At no point did I get anything to 'power on' whether the light or the socket.
