Electrical switch -- no longer controls outlets -- Help??
So, I decided to spend Christmas Eve replacing a wall outlet that no
longer held electrical plugs very well. Swapped out the single white wire, the single red wire, the single black wire and connected the green ground wire. Now, said outlet works fine....but... Originally, I had a wall switch across the room that turned off the power to the outlet I just replaced, as well as to a second outlet in the same room. Now, the wall switch no longer controls the power to the outlets. The wall toggle switch can be on or off, doesn't matter, power still flows to both outlets. What did I screw up. In other words, how can I get it back to where when I put the toggle switch to off, both table lamps turn off.... |
