Wire Switch
Lee asks:
I have a 2 way overhead light switch in the garage, which turns on off the light from either end of the garage.
I want to replace one switch with a combination switch power outlet.
There are 4 wires coming in to the switch I want to replace: Red, Black, White and bare copper ground.
How do wire the new switch to accomodate the 2 way on off operation plus a new outlet which has power applied at all times?
My attempts so far result in no power to the outlet.
