When wiring a wall switch which color wire goes on the common terminal screws?
A typical switch doesn't have a Common screw in the strictest sense, it just has two screws which are each side of the switch. You probably have a a 3-way switch. If you are hooking up a 3-way switch as a normal switch, then connect the Black (Hot) wire to the common and the load to the side of the switch that makes UP the on direction and DOWN is off and doesn't get connected. You can determine for sure if you have a 3-way switch because the word ON and OFF don't appear on the toggle.
Will a loose kill switch wire on a out board motor cause bogging down?
A loose kill switch wire on your out board motor will cause the engine to lose power. As the kill switch loses contact the motor will begin to bog down or completely quit.
How do you wire a 2 way light switch down stairs to a 1 way switch up stairs?

Is there a danger if you mix up ground wire and common wire when wiring a light switch?
Power out of a switch is not negative. It is still the "hot" conductor. The ground wire in a switch junction box in home wiring is the bare wire. It is nearly impossible to mix these two wires up. Most likely if the "hot" supply comes into the switch box the neutral wire will be with it. Just wire nut the two white wires together, incoming and outgoing. The two black wires will be connected to the switch to operate the light fixture.
Can you replace a 3-way light switch with a standard switch and cap off the wires or can you use the 3-way switch and make it into a standard switch?
It can be done but it requires knowledge about how a 3way is wired to convert it to a regular switch. It would involve testing live wires to determine where power starts at. You can't just replace one switch.
Need wire a up and down switch?
To wire an up and down switch, first ensure that the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. Connect the common terminal of the switch to the power source, then wire the up switch to one terminal and the down switch to another terminal, ensuring that the appropriate wires are connected to the load (e.g., motor or actuator). Finally, double-check all connections for safety and secure the switch in its housing before restoring power.
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 wire up a light switch in a home electrical system?
To wire up a light switch in a home electrical system, you need to first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the black wire from the power source to the black wire on the switch, and the white wire from the power source to the white wire on the switch. Finally, connect the black wire from the light fixture to the other terminal on the switch. Make sure to secure all connections properly and test the switch before turning the power back on.

Move it to the opposite direction. Switch up move it down,switch down,move it up.
On a 1966 toronado what is the slide switch on the steering column that has a cable going up to the tilt control for it only moves when tilting the wheel?
That is the turn signal switch & actually it move up & down when you tilt the column. But when you move the turn signal handle up or down it moves a small wire inside a casting that actually works the turn signal switch.
How do you replace a power window switch for a 1999 mercury cougar?

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.
