This is just a suggestion. Maybe you can start from scratch and crate train him upstairs. Go outside to use the bathroom, play time upstairs, back in crate. Do everything the way you did before but do it upstairs so that it clicks in his head "I need to go downstairs and outside". Just a suggestion. When I switched from pee pads to outside I started from scratch and it didn't take long at all.
