Add a light to switch from a different circuit
I think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.
so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.
What else can I help you with?
Do you need to hook up a load wire?
The load is essentially what consumes electrons. For example a load on a light circuit would be a bulb. Therefore, if you don't hook up a load you aren't doing anything. It is like turning on a light switch without a bulb. It may give you some minor exercise, but it doesn't do anything useful.
Can a three way switch be changed to a single pole switch with a plate over one of the switch locations?
Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole
Im adding a new ceiling fan in my living room i pulled the old fixture down i noticed 2 sets of 3 wire BWR and 1 set 2 wire BW BW going to the wall switch how should you wire in the fan?
White is for neutral on the fan, black is power for the motor, and red is power for the light. If the power from the switch only has two wires (black and white), you would hook up white to white and hook black and red from the fan to the black wire from the wall switch. This means that you'll be powering the fan and light on the same switch and to change the fan and light separately you will have to pull on the chains or use a remote control.
How do you hook up two ways switch to three ways?
Your 2 switches will have 3 terminals each. One will be copper colored and two black. You will require a 12-3 WG wire between the switches. The Travelers: The black terminals will be connected together one from switch a to switch b and the other from switch a to switch b, it does not matter which black terms you choose to go from switch a to b The brass terminals one will go to the light switch a and the other to a power source switch b.
How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?
If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.
If you are trying to hook up a tach to your '90 Bonneville which wire should you hook it up to to get an rpm reading?

How can I properly hook up a light switch in my home?
To properly hook up a light switch in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the cover plate and existing switch. Connect the black wire from the power source to the black wire on the switch. Connect the white wire from the power source to the white wire on the switch. Connect the ground wire to the green screw on the switch. Secure the switch in place and replace the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the switch to ensure it is working properly.
How do you hook up a 3-way switch in a circuit?
To hook up a 3-way switch in a circuit, you need to connect the common terminal of one switch to the power source, the common terminal of the other switch to the light fixture, and the travelers of both switches together. This allows you to control the light from two different locations.
How do you hook up a light switch?
To hook up a light switch, first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the black wire from the switch to the black wire from the power source, and the white wire to the white wire. Finally, connect the ground wire to the green screw on the switch. Secure the switch in place and turn the power back on to test the connection.
How do you hook up a light switch properly?
To hook up a light switch properly, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the old switch and disconnect the wires. Connect the black wire to the brass screw, the white wire to the silver screw, and the ground wire to the green screw on the new switch. Secure the switch in place and turn the power back on to test the connection.
How do you add another porch light to an existing switch?
Piggyback off the box for the existing light. Run a wire from the existing junction box to a new junction box (which is placed wherever you want the new fixture). Then, in the existing box, connect the wire coming from the switch, the wire for the existing fixture, and the wire for the new fixture together using wire nuts. Wire up the new fixture, and presto, you have two fixtures on a switch where there was only one before.
How do I hook up a light switch?
To hook up a light switch, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the old switch by unscrewing the cover plate and disconnecting the wires. Connect the new switch by attaching the wires to the corresponding terminals (usually labeled "hot," "neutral," and "ground"). Secure the switch in place and replace the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the switch to ensure it is working properly.
How can I properly hook up a 3-way light switch in my home?
To properly hook up a 3-way light switch in your home, you will need to identify the common wire and the traveler wires. Connect the common wire to the dark-colored screw on the switch and the traveler wires to the light-colored screws. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow the wiring diagram provided with the switch for accurate installation.
How do you hook up brake light switch on 2005 peterbilt?
It's just a weatherpack terminal. Literally a plug and play device.
How do you hook up a 4-way switch in a circuit?
To hook up a 4-way switch in a circuit, you need to connect the four terminals on the switch to the corresponding wires in the circuit. This type of switch is used in conjunction with two 3-way switches to control a single light fixture from multiple locations. It is important to follow the wiring diagram provided with the switch to ensure proper installation.
Can hook up ceiling fan 4 wiring to a3 wiring?
Yes, you will not be able to control both the fan and light from the wall switch.
