Hi!
I never realized how confusing wiring could be until now. :\
I am trying to add an outside light with a switch controlling it to an existing circuit. The way it is currently wired, I think the current switch is at the end of the circuit. There are three wires coming into the switch box (black, red, white). Black and red show 120 volts, and black and white show 120 volts.
I have run a new 14/2 wire into the switch box from the new light. How can I wire the switches so that they each switch one light?
I think I could do it if the power was coming into the switch first, but this setup has had me confused for two days!
Thanks in advance.
