I connected one red wire to a brass screw, the second red wire into the hole, one black wire to a brass screw, the second black wire into the hole, and the two white wires are connected to the silver screws.
The switch had one black wire and one red wire which I connected to the brass screws. In all of the searching I have done I cannot find anything that shows red wires. Are my connections correct?Read More
