Wiring A Control With 2 Red Wires One Yellow Wire And One White Wire 3 Way Application
2 red 2 black wires light switch. A 3 way is also a single pole. If the switch that was there is a standard light switch with two brass screws on it and one green screw you can connect the red wire to either of the brass screws. Dont worry about having two reds and a black this is quite normal. The two reds together in a connector. 12 22 12 at 0453 pm. None are hot unless the other light switch is turned on in which one of the reds is hot.
It has 4 wires 2 red and 2 black the 2 black go to two different common terminals and the 2 red go to two different l2 terminals what type of switch is this and how do i replace it as the new switches only have two terminals l1 and l2 this is the only switch for the kitchen light so it is not a 2 way switch or anything like that. I have a 3 way switch with 2 red wires and 2 black wires and a ground and trying to figure out which wire goes where. Hello can anyone help me i need to install a new light switch which has 1c 2. There were 2 red and 2 black wires connected to the 4 terminals. I tested the other wires on the hot red to see which turn the light on and thats one of the black wires. But it was a switch with 2 terminals on each side 1 ground.
Green yellow earths together. One of the blacks is a switch wire the other is the neutral. Connect the 2 black wires 1each to the brass screws on the new switch. The switch looks like this. Yep just transfer the wires across to the new switch connecting them to the same terminals as they are now. Light switch has red and black wires.
