Identify the Power and Fixture Wires for Switches
[ad#block]I just placed a new switch in the wall and 1 of the 4 completed does not work.
- This switch had two wires on one side and another red wired on the side where the ground wire attachment is.
- Did I place the wires on the two side correctly?
