Just wanted to report back. I finally got it to work. I don't really understand how it works, but it works. I had to go to the junction box above the fixture, and rewire some connections. I had to make two main changes there. 1. Disconnect the red wire going to the switch from another...

LOL... I think this added another layer of complexity to the situation. At the fixture there are only two wires coming in (black and white) and they are not of the same gauge that I am getting at the switch. These two wires must go to another junction box (located above the fixture) In the...
