What is your voltage from the switch terminals to neutral in the light switch?

Everything is either 120 or zero. Someone pointed out that there is probably an open neutral upstream which is confirmed by a diagram we made with the circuit when I moved in.

Yeah, that's why I said it doesn't make it back to the panel.

But if that were true, the number you would read with one probe on black and one on white would be zero, or close to zero.

Edit assuming you see 120v from black to copper.
