To mount two switches and a pilot light in a single gang standard device box you would use?

You would need to purchase a duplex switch. As for the pilot light look for a duplex switch that has a neon pilot light that is incorporated into the handle of the switch. When the switch is turned on the switch's handle will illuminate.


How do you wire a light with a switch to another light with a switch in a different room?

Run the power line to a light box in each room, then drop a switch leg from each light box. The power line should daisy-chain to each box, with a "tap" off for the lights of each room. If you do not have experience with lighting or switch logic, it would be much more safe for you to contract with a qualified electrician.

How do you wire a 4way switch?

Connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all ground wires together and then connect them with a jumper wire to the ground screw on the switch. Connect black power in and power out, if applicable, wires to the bottom screw on the switch. Connect the remaining black wire going to the light to the top screw on the switch.


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.

How can you fix your LED tail lights that do no light up when you push break?

If neither of the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is depressed, you should check the break light switch which is usually located behind the break pedal assembly. Look for a losse or disconnected wiire to the switch. If one does light up them you need to check the led bulb to see if it is good or needs to be replaced


1998 Nissan 200sx brake lights not turning off?

check the break light switch, you need to look under up to the break pedal. You will see two switches and the break light switch is on the drivers side (Left). Usually there will be a plastic bumper on the pedal itself witch will help push in the switch. If its not there then replace it, if it continues then there are multiple things you can do. Check the fuses, battery, and look for shorts in the wires. You can clean the switch with some electrical cleaner. If none of this works then i would take it into a dealership. Hope that helped.


Why does your motorcycle circuit breaker pop when you hit the brake?

Check the wire that goes to your break light. Somewhere along the circuit it is grounded before the lamp and after the switch. Look on the circuit from the switch to the lamp. What is happening is, the circuit is good up to the time that you apply the break. This closes that brake light switch, When the switch closes it sees the dead short and not the lamp. The breaker popping is protecting the circuit wiring from burning up.

Look on the door frame at the lower corner farthest from the door hinges. The switch faces out to the street and ususally has a small rubber bellows on it that may make it look like a bumper instead of a switch.
