How do you wire a 3-way dimmer switch that has two red wires and one black and one green when the box has two red and two black?
you can only have one dimmer, the other switch needs to be not a dimmer. the green wire is ground, it connects to a bare copper wire found in the box, or to the box itself, if the box is metal. the black wire is"common" it either connects to the wire found in the box that has power in it or to the black wire that goes to the light. the 2 red wires are"travelers" they connect to the wires found in the box that go from switch to switch. if you don't know how to check which wire does what( continuity), it is possible to keep changinging the connections until the switch works. you will want to do this with a conventional switch, and install the dimmer afer you identify what wires are travelers and wich are common. you will destroy a dimmer switch by searching for the right connection. once you have identified the common wires, it will be on the black screw of a 3way switch; you can put that wire on the black wire of the dimmer. one red goes on one traveler, the other on another traveler. there might be a white wire in the box, if it is connected to other white wires and not to the switch, leave it alone. if a single white wire is connected to old switch, it may be a traveler.you will connect a red dimmer wire to this. opening the other switch location will show you if the white wire is used as a traveler.the black wire has to be either power coming in, or the wire going to the light. the reds are just connecting the 2 switches.
Were do you connect the dimmer wire?
There should be two wires coming from the dimmer switch unless it is a 3-way dimmer. The wires should be labled line and load on a normal 2-way switch. The line load is connected to the incoming power wire. the load wire is then connected to the wire that goes to the fixture. If you area replacing an old two way switch, then it will hook up exactly the same as the original switch, except for the fact that you will have to connect the pigtail wires of the switch to the other wires that used to be under screw terminals. I hope this answered your question. Thanks, Ben M. There should be two wires coming from the dimmer switch unless it is a 3-way dimmer.

How do you replace a dimmer light switch with a regular light switch coming off of a wall plug ive got 2 black wires 2 white wires 2 grounds and one red wire going to the light?
This is a relatively simple wiring job. Remember that all a switch is, is a means of interrupting the power coming from source (electrical panel) and travelling to load (light fixture). Without the switch, the light would stay on constantly. The black wire is a power wire and so is the red. The white wire is a neutral wire, and the green wire is the ground. You may have to do some trial and error to get it right as I can't see the actual wiring diagram you have. After shutting power off to that circuit, disconnect the dimmer switch and remove. Connect the two white wires together with a wire connector. Connect the two green wires. The red wire was probably part of the dimmer switch and should now be gone, but if it isn't then just cap it off. Now connect the black wire from the fixture to one of the terminals on the switch, and connect the black wire from the electrical panel to the remaining terminal on the switch. That's it.
How do you connect 2 black and 2 red wires to a new switch?
switches work by interupting the hot side of a wire loop, so what you do is you wire your non hot (usually black) wires directly to the device you are trying to control, next, to one side of the switch you connect your two reds, then to the other side of the switch connet the hot lead from your device.
Can you change a single pole switch to adouble pole switch for your winch.I got a new switch single pole switch but think i needs a double which should be 2 wires in and 2 wires out?
Yes, you can change a single pole switch to a double pole switch for your winch. A double pole switch will have two input wires (live and neutral) and two output wires to control the winch operation. Make sure to follow proper wiring and safety guidelines when making the switch to ensure the correct function.
How do I properly wire a 2-way dimmer switch in my home?
To properly wire a 2-way dimmer switch in your home, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the existing switch and connect the dimmer switch's wires to the corresponding wires in the wall. Typically, this involves connecting the black dimmer wire to the hot wire, the green wire to the ground wire, and the red or white wire to the load wire. Secure the connections with wire nuts and mount the dimmer switch in the wall box. Turn the power back on and test the dimmer switch to ensure it is working properly.
How do I install a dimmer switch with only 2 wires?
To install a dimmer switch with only 2 wires, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the dimmer switch to the hot wire in the wall box, and the other wire to the neutral wire or ground wire. Secure the connections with wire nuts and install the dimmer switch into the wall box. Turn the power back on and test the dimmer switch to ensure it is working properly.
How can I properly wire a 2 way dimmer switch in my home?
To properly wire a 2-way dimmer switch in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the existing switch from the wall. Identify the common wire, traveler wires, and ground wire. Connect the common wire to the common terminal on the dimmer switch. Connect the traveler wires to the other terminals on the dimmer switch. Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal on the dimmer switch. Secure the dimmer switch in the wall box and turn the power back on to test the switch. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician if you are unsure about any step in the process.
How do you properly wire a dimmer switch in a 2-way configuration?
To properly wire a dimmer switch in a 2-way configuration, you need to connect the hot wire from the power source to the common terminal of the dimmer switch. Then, connect the traveler wires from the existing switch to the traveler terminals of the dimmer switch. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the power before starting the wiring process.
How does a 2 wire dimmer switch function in a lighting system?
A 2 wire dimmer switch works by controlling the amount of electricity flowing to the light fixture. It has two wires that connect to the power source and the light, allowing you to adjust the brightness of the light by turning the switch.

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.
