justbill, thank you for changing the thread title.

Jim, I added a diagram to the bottom of this post to stop any confusion (I hope).

jwooten, that's the only thing I could think of but if there is a diode hidden in behind the sheathing that is a damn good job of hiding it. The sheathing was barely big enough to hold 4 wires and it goes straight into a bare plug. *shrug*

Here is a diagram I just threw together to quell any confusion...

Pins 1 and 2 on the 8P8C share continuity with pin for of the 4P4C but only the blue wire is in the 4P4C. The purple circle represents that I spliced in the red wire from pin one into the blue wire from pin 2.
