I assume that one of these BLACK wires in the box should be BLUE.Lot 3 Defiant 7-Day Programmable In-Wall Digital Timer 1001 475 623 | eBay. If I connected the timer to BOTH black lines, it turns on, but the lights stay ON regardless of whether the switch is on or off. I tried the other black wire in the box, but the timer wouldn't light up at all. The timer illuminated, but when I tried to turn ON the lights, the timer shows ON, but the lights are not. Then I tried one of the black wires to the black wire on the timer. I attempteAd to connect the white wire of the timer to the white wire in the box. If you want me to get a shot of the box and show it to you, I would be happy to do that. It took me forever to figure out the colors of the thermostat when I bought a new digital one because they used all different colors. Lennar corporation probably cut corners this way. Well the wiring in this house has NOTHING standard as far as colors are concerned. Your timer instructions call for a 'blue' wire. One set of black are bundled together and the other black wire is jumped from the other switch for the wall outlet. However I stand corrected - in the box are white and 2 sets of black wires.

I assume that one of these BLACK wires in the box should be BLUE.

Is there a configuration for this timer that will work with no neutral wires? OR, could the RED wire in the box connected to the switch for the wall outlet be neutral? I tried a few different configurations, but don't want to damage the timer. To my dismay the instructions say 'some boxes do not have a neutral wire' and then I'm told to get an electrician. When I press the on/off button, the switch clicks and displays 'on', but the porch lights remain off. When I connect the white and black wires from the timer to the two black wires in the box (that were originally connected to the old switch), the timer lights up. I am assuming that the porch light switch (the one I want to control with the timer) simply connects or breaks the black wires to complete the circuit. That one has a RED wire connected to one side. There is a second switch in the box to control a wall outlet. My old rocker switch has 2 black wires and there doesn't appear to be a neutral (white) wire in the box. the timer has 5 wires (it can be configured for 3-way switches), white, black, blue, red, and green. I bought a GE Sunsmart (#15312) digital timer for my front porch lights.
