Be sure the power is off before touching any electrical wiring. You can't rely on the color coding to know what wires are hot. Be sure you know what you are doing . Do not take shortcuts and wire according to code. Test your work after you finish. If you have any doubts about your expertise, hire a professional. Faulty wiring can start a fire or maybe even shock or electrocute someone.
