Recently installed a light fixture. When I turn the light switch on, the light flashes and does not turn on. I have old wiring. Any suggestions.

Try replacing the switch. Sounds like it may be bad.

circuit breaker size and receptacle size

on Nov 25, 2000

I have a couple of questions. First, in wiring in a circuit for a microwave if you use a 20 amp breaker do you have to use a 20 amp receptacle or can you use a regular one? Second, in our breaker box there is a 30 amp breaker with 14 gauge wire running 7 ceiling fixtures, 7 light switches and 8 receptacles. This is 2 full bedrooms and lights in fam. room, kitchen, dining room, hallway, bathroom and part of the garage. How do we break this up without making alot of holes in our walls? Do we have to put a different size breaker in our box with that small wire? thanks for any help rhondaRead More

Change 3way switch to motion activated switch

on Nov 26, 2000

I can't seem to figure out the new connection for the motion switch. My old 3 way switch appears to be the terminal end of the circuit. It has a white, black, red and ground(copper) coming in to the box - the switch controls two ceiling lights. The new motion switch has blue,white,black at the top and yellow & green on the bottom. I think the red is common, but not sure? I need help!Read More
