Downstream, I completely disconnected the line in wire to the switch inside the storage shed.
Upstream, the 15 amp breaker feeds few things in the house and my new outdoor GFCI. They all work fine. Even when GFCI trips (it is the new receptacle I installed outside); everything else in house still works.
Right now at this moment, everything is working but there is no ground contact to the line going to shed. There is ground contact between new GFCI receptacle and the old receptacle. I have one of those AC testers and both yellows lights are on so my old and new receptacles thinks everything is okay. But if I try to connect the ground from Storage shed wire to same twist wire connector in old receptacle the breaker trips.
UPDATE:
At the moment everything is working including the GROUND to the shed!!!!
I say at the moment because everything is temporarily wired above ground. I added a new 12 inch wire of hot, neutral & ground to replace the ends of the old wire I cut off.
I need to shut it all down and spliced the wires permanently and re-bury and hope when reconnected it all works again.
Post intended for you and all to standby while I work this through as it must have been an issue with the quality of some of the wiring.
