How do you wire a remote switch to a socket outlet with no switch?

Basically you need to connect the black supply wire directly to the outlet rather than have it go through switch. You can have two possible conditions. The first condition is that the supply comes to the switch box and connects to one side of the switch. The other side of the switch goes to the outlet. In this case just remove each black wire from the switch and connect them together with a wirenut. If the black supply wire goes to the outlet and there is another black wire going to the switch then there will also be a wire coming back from the switch. Just disconnect the wire coming from the switch to the outlet and connect the black supply wire directly to the outlet.

Bring the hot power wire into the wall switch box and run another wire out to the outlet. Tie all the whites together in the switch box under a wire nut and shove this back into the box. Tie the black incoming wire and the black wire going to the outlet together and jump a wire off this to one of the screws on the light switch. Connect the black wire going to the light to the other screw on the light switch. Connect the white/black wire to the outlet.

No, that is not unsafe.

you can wire the single post toggle switch to the old school 2 wire system, just ignore the ground screw (like the old switch did). no outlet skip the outlet, just use the toggle switch if you want an outlet you'll need to run a ground wire down to your electrical box

The input white wire is connected directly to neutral side of the outlet. The input black wire is connected directly to one of the switch posts. Find a short piece of black wire and connect it from the OTHER side of the switch post to the "hot" side of the outlet. Connect the input ground wire to both the outlet and the switch.

For safety it removes all power from the socket. if the switch was in series with the neutral wire the socket would still have power on it with the switch off and dangerous shocks would e possible!

Connect the incoming power wire and the outgoing power wire going to the light switch to the line side of the GFCI outlet. This will protect the outlet and will not turn off power to the light if the GFCI trips.

You probably mean to change it to a 240 V outlet... either case, you'll need to run a new wire and install a new breaker.

This can not be done with the wire that you have. If you would like a detailed answer as to why not, start a discussion.

You need to take a new wire into the outlet and to your new switch box. Black (hot) to black and white (neutral) to white Also splice the ground wire through. In the switch box you'll have your new wire from the outlet and a wire going out to the new light. Incoming black wire to one terminal on the switch and the black wire going to the light on the other terminal. The neutral wires get spliced together.

If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.

No, but the outlet or switch will still require a ground wire

Yes just determine which wire going into the switch is the hot power wire which will be black. Just send power from that black wire to the outlet.

You will need a receptacle that you can wire each outlet separately (not jumpered). You would then wire the switch in series on the line conductor with the outlet you want switchable. Wire the other outlet directly to the power source. You can jumper the neutral from one outlet to the other.

You need to run a wire from the existing power source to switch to switch to switch to outlet.

You can buy a device that contains one outlet and one switch. In the current box you have t identify the supply side Black wire (Hot). This can be done with a voltmeter. Connect the supply side black to the switch and the brass colored screw on the outlet. Connect the white wire to the silver screw on the outlet. You may need to use a wire nut and multiple pigtail wires to feed the input to switch and outlet. Depends on configuration of the switch/outlet combination.

The wires going to a GFCI outlet are no different than a standard outlet. I assume you are wiring the fan switch to the same wires and not actually to the outlet itself (this would mean you are plugging the switch into the outlet and that wouldn't make any sense).

One wire is the hot off the plug, one is the hot to one socket, and the third wire is the hot for the second socket. You'll have to check the switch for the exact color code / which wire is which (I don't know if there is a standard). You can test it easily with a multimeter as well.

Yes you just have to "steal" power from the switch. Do this by running a pigtail wire from the hot of the switch to the hot wire of the plug. Make sure you do this before the switch or you will end up with your outlet being switched as well.

A #14 copper wire rated at 15 amps is the minimum size wire for a 15 amp receptacle.

If you are referring to a "socket" as a receptacle there is a device that can be purchased at a hardware store that just plugs in and with lights it tell you if the wiring is correct. All switches should be wired with the hot wire at the top. On a wall switch hot wire to the top screw.

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.

Assuming that you want the light switched and the outlet unswitched and the supply voltage is in the switch box you do the following. Run the supply directly from the input of the switch to the outlet. Black goes to the copper colored terminal on outlet, white to silver colored terminal and ground to green screw. The white wires for outlet and light can all be wired together using a wirenut. Do the same for the grounds. Then one side of the switch is connected to the black supply and the other side of the switch to the black wire on the light.

Explain what you mean by "3-way outlet". I've heard of 3-way switches, but not 3-way outlets. I would guess the person asking the question is asking how to wire a three-prong socket, as opposed to a four-prong socket...

You will have to run a separate wire from the wall outlet to the point at which you want to install the ceiling fan. Or you can just run a new wire from the wall switch to the point where you want to mount the ceiling fan. Either way you can control power to the fan from the wall switch.
