Hi,

I need help figuring out how to wire an outdoor electrical circuit.
Hopefully someone can figure this out.

I have a junction box with two 14x2 wires going into it which are each
hooked up to a seperate outlet. Into the same junction box I have
another 14x2 wire which feeds power into the junction box. As well I
have a 14x3 wire which goes into the junction box and is hooked up to a
switch box with two light switches.

What I need to figure out is how to wire the junction box and light
switch box so that one light switch will turn one outlet on and the
other light switch will turn the second outlet on.

An help is appreciated.

Alex



Ok.. I've read both your posts, and it sounds like you have all the right
wires in the right places, just not hooked up.

In the j-box, you're going to feed the incoming hot lead to one of the wires in
the 14/3 to the switch box (lets use black).

You are going to tie all the neutrals together except for the one going to
the switch box, which will be re-identified as a hot (colored tape other than
white/grey/green).

You will tie all the grounds together, as well as to the device grounds, and
the box (if metallic). Do this in all boxes.

Tie the other two wires in the 14/3 (red, re-identified white) each to one of
the hot leads on the two pieces of 14/2.

In the switch box, the incoming hot lead will be split to feed the line side
of both switches. The other two wires (red, re-identified white) will be the
switched legs, one from each switch..
