Any electricians on here.Need help figuring out why I have no power to my garage.

Sounds like the white and black wires are backwards going to junction box originally. If you are POSITIVE it is a three way switch (I don't think it is) I would try swapping your wire number 2 and the white wire on the switch. Hopefully your CB works if that is not the issue. If all is metal conduit that is you ground. Does the white wire connection at switch tie into the frame of the switch? If so That is not a 3-way.

After reading and seing pics I am pretty sure it is not a 3 way switch.

OK, based on that, I think the wire passing straight through is the neutral and the one coming back down into the switch box from the junction box needs to be hooked to the other big screw on the same side of the switch as the hot wire coming up into the switch box. .
