Need help with garbage disposal wiring

Posted by Larry Earnedt, on
I had to move my garbage disposal & gfci outlet about 3 feet so I disconnected the wiring and capped all the wires. 2 months later I go to hook up the wiring and I cannot remember how they were wired. I have a 3 way switch for my garbage disposal and a gfci outlet that share a gang box. I have 3ea 14/2 romex cables that come into the box. 2 of the romex cables are hot and the other one shows no power. When I originally disconnected the wiring it looked super simple otherwise I would have taken a picture. What I did do was mark the 2 romex cables that came off of the switch or gfci I can’t remember with blue tape and the other one only had 1 romex cable attached. Any help would be appreciated. I took a few pics but don’t think I can add them here
