How do you install a dimmer switch for multi fixtures where the original switch has 2 black wires and one red with no green?
This simple if you have two switches controlling a set of light you will need to buy a three way switch. A three way switch will have a place for three connection. Depending on what brand of switch you purchase the directions will be sightly different but most dimmer come with detailed directions and diagrams. When you by a dimmer you need to read what kind of load it is meant to control. They are built to control incandescent light, magnet low voltage lights or electronic lights.
Can you use 14-2 wire to operate a ceiling fan using two switches one for the fan the other for the lights?
On these types of installations an electrician would use a three wire cable set from the switch box to the fixture's junction box. At the fixture's junction box both the fan neutral and the light neutral would be wire nutted together with the incoming neutral from the switch boxes. From the three wire, the white wire would go to the fan and light's neutral wires. The Black would come from the bottom of one of the switches and go to the fan's motor lead. The red wire would come from the bottom of the other switch and go to the light fixture's lead. It can be done with two runs of two wire to the fixture. You will need a two gang switch box for this project to hold the two separate switches. You could use a single gang light switch box if you can still find where duplex switches being sold. A duplex switch is one that has the configuration of a duplex receptacle with the switches being one on top of the other. The cover plate is the same one used for duplex receptacles. To answer this question fully more information is needed. See discuss in the left margin.
Light turns on fine but when it is in the off position the fuse blows and the only way it will come back on is if I turn the light on?
The circuit is wired wrong. Contact a qualified electrician to make the necessary repairs. You don't describe the problem well enough to troubleshoot. If there is a fuse involved and it blows you would have to replace the fuse before anything should turn on. If this circuit worked at one time and all of a sudden stopped working then you may have a faulty switch or wires shorted in te switch box. If this is a new installation follow advice from redbeard.
Where does the white wire go on a light fitting?
In home wiring the white wire is neutral. Some light fixtures that are typically out of reach may not differentiate between hot (black) and neutral (white). In this case the black and white supply wires can arbitrarily connected to the two fixture black wires, one to each. The NEC requires that the neutral be connected to the screw shell of a 'typical' light socket regardless of height. This allows that while changing out a lamp (called a bulb), if you inadvertently come into contact with the screw shell, you are not in danger.
