Hey all, wondering if anyone else has a T104 + T106 setup and/or has any experience wiring these timers. I wired it following this guide: How to wire Intermatic T10604R with the addition of an SWG connected to terminals 2 & 4 on the T104.
I'm no electrician, but I like to think I have a working knowledge of our residential split-phase power system, and I understand how circuits work. Intuitively, I can trace the circuits and they make sense to me - and yet, when I flipped the switch, the pump did not sound happy so I immediately shut it off. I'll troubleshoot it more when I get home this evening, but if anyone has any ideas as to why this might not work, I would love to know.
My specific wiring diagram is as follows (which I have quadruple checked). I have tried to color-code it somewhat: clocks are light/dark orange, main lines are red or blue, jumpers are green and the two motor speeds are magenta or turquoise. Please note I have left out the ground wires to keep it less cluttered, but they're there!
As an initial troubleshoot, I tried re-drawing the circuit using the individual wiring diagrams for each of the two timers, using this one for the T106:

With that, I came up with this instead:
However, when I trace the circuits, although laid out slightly differently, they appear to do the same thing and I think are both correct.
In the meantime, I'm going to isolate the motor and try re-wiring it the way it originally was to confirm it still works properly, and go from there
