Both black wires appeared to be hot when I tested them. Then I noticed the two red wires. This was an unused junction box in the ceiling of my garage. I have two two outlet receptacles. Only one of the black wires should be hot right?




White is cold.

green (if present is ground)

all other colors are hot such as black , red, blue & yellow

Replace your "is" and "are" with "should be".

We really don't know how the OP's box is wired.

P.S. The term is "nuetral" not "cold".



Ok perfectionist you are right!

It's less about being a perfectionist and more about making sure we give the
OP the correct information. The main point of my response - other than the
P.S. of course ;-) - is exactly what Greg said:

"We are far from having enough information to do more than offer a wild
assed guess."




Especially since he did not mention and white wires.

Read the subject line.
