I had to replace an improperly used plastic ceiling box with a metal box to correctly ground existing old armored cable. I thought I took a picture of the box before but I don't have it so I'm having trouble reconnecting the light. Off of this box are:
- Single pole switch for overhead bedroom light
- Two 3 way switches for bedroom closet and hallway light (both go on and off at same time)
With how it is currently wired, the single pole switch/light are working and the closet light is working with the 3 way switches. I am not sure how to reconnect the hallway light so that it also goes on/off with the closet light and 3 way.
Thanks in advance.
This is where the hallway fixture goes:
On the left is the bedroom overhead light. On the right is the 3 way for the hallway light and closet light (these are supposed to come on at the same time):
The other 3 way for the hallway and closet light:

Copied from my comment as an answer: I took off the working closet light and it is a black/white wire going to the fixture. I traced this wire back to the ceiling box and the black wire goes to #4, white goes to #1. Red wire in #1 is always hot, black wires in #4 are hot when the light is on. Wired my fixture the same as the wire to the closet light - black to #4 and white to #1 bundle and it works now. Thanks!
