Electrical question - adding a neutral

[Gordon Shumway]

I removed the hallway ceiling fixture to investigate why there were three wires going to it. The third wire (red) provides power for a closet light.

I have uploaded the latest revised wiring diagram to the following address:

It is my belief, and correct me if I'm wrong, that if I were to do the following modifications in the junction box in the hallway:

1. Remove the splice on the two red wires.
2. Connect the un-spliced red wire, going to the closet light, to the hot.
3. Connect the remaining un-spliced red wire, going to the family room, to the common.

I will have the necessary common and there would be an un-switched hot to the closet light. Most importantly I won't have to crawl around in the attic. I have my fingers crossed.

You don't owe me any apology for that sketch. You have been very patient and very helpful.

Thank you.

Your diagram is a little confusing in that it doesn't show a feed. Assuming a feed in the box, the hot leg (black) goes directly to the red wire going to the closet light and it goes to the black wire of all three motion switches. The neutral goes to the white going up to both lights and to the white wire which also gets connected to the white of all three motion switches. The yellow wires of all three motion switches gets connected to the red wire that's running between the switch boxes, and the red wire off the "master hall" motion switch gets connected to the black wire that goes to the hall light

I was apparently not paying enough attention to the P&S diagram and just trying to get my head 'round the existing wiring... you may be right. guess we'll wait and see what comes back from the OP

I wanted to thank everyone who helped me get this resolved. I was able to get the sensors functioning with the neutral from that circuit without run additional wires.

What I did was remove the splice on the two red wires in the hallway. I connected the un-spliced red wire, going to the closet light, to the hot. I connected the remaining un-spliced red wire, going to the family room, to the common.

Everything works as it should.

Thanks again!
