Thanks for the response ken. Please be patient with me I am new to this. Let me try to better explain it. I am building a tester for a system. I will try to lay it out without a diagram if you need one I can upload one tomorrow.
The full terminal terminal strip is laid out like this.
120 N -| |- pilot C T Ground
[ 1 ][2][3] [4][ 5 ] [6][7][ 8 ]
16volts goes down the pilot wire of a cable thru a C T then to a diode that's hooked to a motor frame tied into the ground wire. That 16 volts after coming out of the diode is rectified to a small amount of dc which is sent down the ground. Once 5 and 8 make connection the N/O contact closes. I need a light wired into this circuit that when 3 & 4 are open I get a red light and when 3&4 are closed you get a green light. The issue I have is when I power my lights i end up with 120 volts on 3 & 4. I have put a jumper between 2 & 3 for a neutral and a coil hooked to 1 and 4 which bring in a relay to turn the light from red to green. Problem is I always end up with 120 on 3 & 4 expect when the light is green. I am confused as to why I have 120 when its red but not when its green on how I have it wired. Thank you for any advice!!
