Hi all,
I have an electrical box that controls two lights - one indoor and one outdoor. In an effort to replace one of the light switches to the one with timer, took the box apart without writing down which wires were which.
So now there are 7 wires coming into the box and I am not sure what to do with them. There are one black, one yellow coming up from the bottom on one side; one black, one yellow coming down from another side; and one black, two yellows coming down from another side. I am guessing blacks are hot, yellows that come down/up with black is neutral and one last yellow wire is the ground?? But doesn't seem to work when I wirenut the neutrals together and attach blacks to the switches.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
