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. It's neutral. And, that is NOT set in stone, either. green (if present is ground) all other colors are hot such as black , red, blue & yellow Erm, without knowing more about the wiring configuration itself, you shouldn't assume that to be true. Electricity is color blind. And, the op should call a licensed electrician to assist them, because, they don't seem to know what they're doing or the risk/danger they could be placing not only themselves in, but, their property as well. +1 IAWTP -- The only people who make a difference are the people who believe they can. |
