Light Switch

Posted on Saturday, November 13, 2010 in Collectibles

Why does my light switch have three wires and a ground wire?

I am switching out a light switch and I found that it has three wires and a fourth if you count the ground wire. The really odd thing is, I replaced a switch and instead of turning the closet light on and off it is turning the room light on and off. Do you have any suggestions.

Thats the way modern houses are wired, everything is wired in a circuit, (a loop) it can be quiet tricky working out what wire goes where, you are best leaving it to someone who understands.
