We have two outdoor porch lights on either side of the front door wired to the same switch inside. I replaced both fixtures yesterday... Previously, the switch only worked with one of the fixtures. The other fixture didn't work at all (no power). After replacing the fixtures, the one that previously didn't work at all now works, but has constant power regardless of the switch position. The other fixture still works just fine, as before. While installing the fixtures, I noticed the wiring of faulty fixture had the standard black and white wires to hook everything up... while the one that works just fine had two black wires... although it could just be whoever spliced the wires for the outdoor fixtures didn't use the correct colors. The switch itself is brand new, but regardless, it switches the other light just fine so it is likely not the problem. Not sure if it matters, but the house was built in the 60s and there is no ground wire. Previous owners had limited rewiring done, adding a ground to a few circuits. So basically, I have two lights that are supposed to switch on/off and only one does. The other has constant power.

I am trying to replace the light pull chain switch in my fan, but I noticed that the wire connections used are ones that I'm not familiar with. I'm used to the cone-shaped wire nuts that just unscrew, but I have no idea how to remove these connections. Any help. Please see the photos below. Thanks!
