Hey Guys,
I had a wall outlet that was controlled by a dimmer switch. I took the dimmer switch off (only a red and a black wire going to the dimmer) and replaced it with a single pole on/off switch. The red and black wire now go to each terminal on the new switch. Now the outlet is always on.
There are 3 wires coming into the box where I have the 2 switches. One switch is for the outside porch light and the other should go to the wall outlet that is now always on. The 3 neutral (white) wires are connected in the same wire nut, the ground wires are connected via copper clamp and then connected to the porch light switch that is working correctly.
Should I be wiring this switch for the outlet differently?
Thanks!
Wall outlet changed to "always on" after removing dimmer switch
