That would at least help to eliminate or verify the underground wire as the culprit.
I will try this this weekend. I don't have enough wire to wire to run above ground all the way to storage shed, but may try something shorter to just test the switch (that I may need to take out of storage shed). If it does need all new wiring I will be in trouble because about 25 feet is under concrete

Also per your astute observation of why it worked one week before degrading.

When I first connected it would not work at all, after some troubleshooting I completely removed the old receptacle and direct wired from new GFCI box to storage shed line in wiring with twist nuts to the Neutral, Hot & Ground wires respectively. It worked, so when I said it worked, I really meant the GFCI was not tripping and had power, I had 120VAC at the twist connections and had power to the switch and light in storage shed for about a week. So I bought new receptacle thinking the old receptacle may have been part of the issue and reconnected. Now I have the issue with the hot wire. The old receptacle box did have dirt in it where I believe Texas fire ants may have made it a home or something at some time?
