Because the juju has yet to be established in the new wiring. As soon as the juju takes hold, the light brightens.

Recheck your wiring of the switch. It sounds like you may have wired two lights in series that may have been supplied from the one switch. Two lights from one switch have to be wired in parallel with each other.

What should you do if you installed a new light in an old house that uses a dimmer switch and now the light won't turn off?

Some lights won't dim. If you've installed the switch properly, and are using traditional incandescent bulbs (not flourescent, LED, E-L lights or any other very low current light), the dimmer will dim the bulbs. Make sure you're using a dimmable bulb and that the dimmer is installed properly.


How do you change lights in the dash of a 2005 dodge neon?

You probably don't need to change the dash lights. On the headlight panel there is a control to dim or brighten the dash lights. This same control allows you to turn them completely off. I don't remeber on that particular car if the light switch rotates or has a separate switch but all cars have this feature.


How do you fix head lights on a 95 Chevrolet Corsica if they are not working The bulbes are still good and the fuse is good as well could not find any broken wires Switched on and off at first now off?

Try replacing your headlight switch, it includes an internal circuit breaker that has possibly gone bad and will not reset any more. On my 89 there is ground wire on body in front of battery. Bad ground connection will keep headlights from working. Could be hi/lo dimmer switch on steering column under dash. Difficult to change without removing steering column. I unplugged switch, plugged in new switch, set new switch on dim, and wired it to column. Since old switch still connected to actuator rod going to turn signal/dimmer handle I only have dim lights but can drive at night.

If the dim lights are continuously staying on there may be an issue with the dimmer switch. The actual switch may be jammed in the on position. Check the switch with a voltmeter and see if there is continuous power coming from it.
