How To Wire A Ceiling Fan The Home Depot
2 red 2 black wires light switch. There were 2 red and 2 black wires connected to the 4 terminals. Googlozprqs greenberet123 jun 11 18 at 2345. It has 4 wires 2 red and 2 black the 2 black go to two different common terminals and the 2 red go to two different l2 terminals what type of switch is this and how do i replace it as the new switches only have two terminals l1 and l2 this is the only switch for the kitchen light so it is not a 2 way switch or anything like that. The two reds together in a connector. How is it connected at the moment. Connect the black wire to the other brass screw.
None are hot unless the other light switch is turned on in which one of the reds is hot. Unfortunately i removed all the wires from the switch. Dont worry about having two reds and a black this is quite normal. One of the blacks is a switch wire the other is the neutral. I have a 3 way switch with 2 red wires and 2 black wires and a ground and trying to figure out which wire goes where. If the switch that was there is a standard light switch with two brass screws on it and one green screw you can connect the red wire to either of the brass screws.
Hello can anyone help me i need to install a new light switch which has 1c 2. Yep just transfer the wires across to the new switch connecting them to the same terminals as they are now. 12 22 12 at 0453 pm. But it was a switch with 2 terminals on each side 1 ground. The switch looks like this. I tested the other wires on the hot red to see which turn the light on and thats one of the black wires.
A 3 way is also a single pole. Light switch has red and black wires. If you have a ground wire connect the ground wire to the green screw. Connect the 2 black wires 1each to the brass screws on the new switch. Last edited by ray2047.
