Best Answer

First you turn off the power. Then you cut the wire. Strip each end of the cut wire and attach to each side of the switch. This should only be done within a switch enclosure. If there is no extra wire to make a good connection, you can extend the cut ends with wire of the same size as the cut wire and use wire nuts to securely connect the "pigtail" wires. You should only switch the hot side (Black wire in home wiring) and not the white wire which would pose a shock hazard.

Why want riding mower turn off when key is turnned to the off position?

There is a loose wire between the switch and where the wire connects to the kill switch. On my Murray, the wire from the switch meets a wire that comes from under the cover where the spark plug fits. They connect together at the throttle control bracket. You might want to check the entire length of the wire(s).


How do you get electricity to a wall switch when getting electircity from an outlet?

Simply run a wire from that outlet to that wall switch. Be sure you use the exact same wire size that you find in that outlet. It will be AWG 12/2 or 14/2. Do not mixes wire sizes. Connect the ground to green ground screw at outlet, and white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw. At the light switch connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw on the switch. Now connect the 2 black wires you have left, power in and power out, to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which wires you connect to the 2 screws.

How do you wire a light to a switch at the end of a run and which controls an outlet?

Bring power into the light switch box 12/2 or 14/2 wire depending on the existing wire. Make sure you use the exactly same size wire that is used on that circuit. If you do not know look at the breaker in the main panel that controls power to that circuit. 20 amp will be 12/2 wire and 15 amp will be 14/2 wire. Now run another wire from the switch box out to the outlet. Inside the switch box, strip both white wires back 3/4" and connect them together under a wire nut and push this back into the box. Connect the 2 ground wires together and then connect that to the ground screw on the switch. You now have 2 black wires left. Connect them to the 2 screws on the light switch. Does not matter which black wire you connect to which screw. At the outlet connect the ground wire to the green ground screw, black wire to copper screw, and white wire to silver screw. That outlet will now be controlled by the light switch.
