Very helpful video. What if you have a similar situation, but where each switch is part of a 3-way? I have a two-switch gang box at the bottom of my stairs (two wire bundles coming into top of box, one coming from bottom, which I expect is from the panel similar to your example), and corresponding switches at the top of the stairs. It's difficult keeping straight how this should be wired for 3-way, and on top of that I'm installing Insteon smart switches which have their own diagram for 3-way, ha :) Even if you don't cover a smart-switch wrinkle, showing a multi-gang box that's part of a 3-way would be quite useful.
@@CodingSloth May have to do a video on that in the future. The wiring would be basically the same as long as the switches you are talking about are the ones first in line from the panel. The hot pigtails would connect to the common terminal on the 3 way switches and then you would have your traveler wires to connect. That is in a standard setup but since they are smart switches you will need to try and follow whatever diagram they have laid out as sometimes they can be a little different and require a matching smart switch for the second switch in line as well or at the top or the stairs probably in your case. Hope this helps.
Right before I wired it up I pointed at and said what the wires were. The ones on top were all of my pigtails for the load wires going to the fixtures. The ones on the bottom were the pigtails from the line. On a single pole light switch it doesn’t matter which terminal the line or load wires go on just have to have one of each. Hope this answers your question!
Damn... this video was posted 3 years ago, and it's still one of the best and most recommended. Great explanation, clear instructions, and overall great video. Thank you! Very helpful.
Most every one already said how very simple your instructions were, so I too would like to say the same! I watched other UA-cam tutorial videos , but yours is very simple! Great instructor! Thank you 😊!
As a teacher, I want people to explain things as clearly to me as I want to explain them to my students. You have done so. This was most excellent. Liked, subscribed, and once I'm done wiring my switches I believe I will be binge-watching your channel for a bit. Kudos on the excellent job. *tips hat*
Wow thank you very much for the kind words! I am really glad to hear that you liked it. I hope that you find the other videos on the channel to be helpful and informative. Thank you very much for the feedback and I hope to see you around the channel again!
Excellent instructions! I had to look at the video three times just to make sure I understood the load wires and the HOT wire coming into the outlet box. Thanks again and may The Lord continue to provide blessings to you and your family.
UA-camrs have to win my like. You did. You take those important, but not obvious, steps to show and explain things clearly. Like switching the camera angle to the opposite side to show clearly how to wire the hot leads after you finished the grounds. Great camera angles and set up, great organization, and great explanation.
Thank you, I"m a handyman and was called to work on a DIY attempt to wire this exact set up, your clear and precise description/video has helped me as I needed to add pigtails and simplify/rectify the DIY wiring job, cheers from Canada Adam
This is 2nd time I've watched your video and want to thank you. I'm a 63 year old female widower and surely you have saved me many $$$. Your instructions are clear and simple. Thanks again.
You’re very welcome. That’s great!! I am very happy to hear I have been able to help you. Thank you so much for letting me know and Kudos to you for taking on these projects yourself!
So all ground wire can be pigtailed for all 3 switches....even if the switches separately go to the out door light,livingroom and kitchen lights? Just wondering and asking for knowledge without being belittled....
Good morning Adam, just to say thank you for sharing your electrical skills, it takes me more than 8 hrs to add those 3 switches in my washroom but I did it god bless you sir
Thanks Adam, as others have already said you made it very simple for the intended 3 switch installation. What I would like to see are updated videos showing the use of the new port style connectors which are great for connecting multiple power and load wires and pig tails.
As someone who has no idea really how to wire much stuff this is the easiest and best way this could be explained I'm trying to save a dollar and rewire my whole 50 by 60 shop and this is the absolute easiest way anybody could explain how to wire a switch so thank you from the bottom of my heart
Awesome video! Came in clutch! I disconnected a couple light switches and forgot to take pictures of how they hooked up, got them twisted up and had no idea how to wire them back up! Thanks to you, I fixed it and even understood what I did so a big THANK YOU!
I bought this house and the patio cover has an installed fan, the patio light mounted on the house wall are both connected to one switch inside the house. This video will definitely help me figure this out as I want two independent switches for these. Thank you for the clear and easy to understand video. 👍🏽
Adam thx i’m in the process of adding two switches to an existing switch and watching this video you just made me become an electrician for this project. Thank you.
Hey I’m adding one light switch to the one I have for a new light. Found out that their are two outlets also on that one power line. So adding mine would make a total of four(two outlets and two lights) my concern is can that one power wire support an additional light.? Did you check if your light was able to carry additional load and how did your project turn out?
Excellent video. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to do this. Thank you for making it easy and sharing your years of experience with us. Subscribed.
Thanks! I just spent all day installing new fans, and got confused with the 3 switch box I was rewiring the wires. Right now if i turn the 1st one on, everything turns on... But that's because i made a mistak, but after watching your video I understand now. Thanks for the video!
Took this 3 switch box out last week to fix some drywall . Tried to label. Everything but that came undone along the way somewhere. Been trying to find a video to figgure out how to put it back. Your video was about the best , simplest clean cut one i e found THANK YOU ! and you got a new subscriber now also.
This was the 2nd video I clicked, found it very helpful and very well explained. I only had two switches to hook up to the hot wire, for the life of me I couldn't figure out to do it, your instructions made it very simple, thanks for sharing........
I’m glad this video came up. I’m about to start my electrician training in a week and I needed to wire up what you just demonstrated today. It was very easy to understand and now I know “why” also. Keep it up - I’m very grateful! 👍😇
Cleared a lot up because trying to figure out what other trade people has done in the box was mind blowing like the hot wire was never pigtailed ya that's what I wrote never even cut apart inside the electric box 😳I had to cut and pigtail it watching you do this cleared it all up for me thank you.
Pigtail! Duah. I feel so dumb. Ofcourse. Don't understand what I didn't understand. Thank you very much. Well spoken, clear and your "training board" is awesome. You have helped me more then you know
Thanks my friend , I knew it was easy but since I don't do this for a living I just wanted to confirm it was ok to do. And you answered my situation exactly! Thanks brother have a great day
Hey Charles, you are very welcome! Yeah it really is a pretty easy install. Glad it was able to serve as a confirmation for you. Thanks for the feedback. Take care brother!
Thanks for the amazing videos Adam, I've always been scare of doing any electrical work at home because I had not experience or didn't know how everything work, watching your videos have help me a ton and now I feel more comfortable working with it.
Thank you so much for your help! My hubs and I were able replace old 3 switch lighting with your tutorial. It’s been a while for my hubs so he just needs a refresher. I learned a lot which is always handy.
This video is a big help, thanks! I'm going to rewire the 2 switches in my garage. Currently one of the switches has the power wire going to the bottom connector of the switch and there's also a wire to the light fixture in the same connection point. The power wire continues on to the bottom of the 2nd switch. And there's no ground wire to the switches, only to the light fixtures.
No. Because you’ll need the White, Neutral wire for the outlet. So you’d need to pig tail off the white wire to attach to the outlet. The hot will be pig tailed off like in this video as well.
No since he's connecting all the hot/ black wires together as a well as the neutral/white. So when current travels through the black they can come back on the white. And in case of a fault the power travels through the ground back to source if the neutral can't. Since they all bonded on the same circuit Safety.
I am NOT an electrician, I am a licensed Heating and Air conditioning man. These videos have in fact made me better at my craft. I mean anyone can put wires together ( I am NOT Knocking electricians in the least) But you must know what where and how much. My jobs are much neater internally and ascetically. Thank you
Well done and thank you for posting this up. Interestingly enough, I've done a lot of DIY wiring in the past but since I'm getting a bit older, so are my brains.....lol.. Lets just say that I like to refresh my memory to make sure I'm doing things efficiently, correctly, and if some code information is there, I'll take that too. Cheers!
Thank you for the simple, easy to follow video. The information helped me with my exact situation. Now it's time to flip the breaker on and test out the lights.
this is the best freaking video. i watched and read a bunch and this one was the most professionally recorded (and not on a 1998 nokia phone) and explained compared to every single video out there.
Awesome! I am really glad it was helpful! Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I didn't use a 98 nokia it was a 2004 Motorola Razr, top of the line technology 😂
Thanks man! First video I watch about doing this as I want to make my current one switch to three for recess LED lights. This already gave me a clear understanding what I need to do! Buying a roll of Romex 14/2 tomorrow and tackle this project lol
This was awesome. I’m about to change out old 70’s black outlets and switches. One room has a 3 toggle switch. I’m hoping it’s all ready divided up like this. If not, I’ll refer often to this video!!! I also have a few with 2 toggles. 😳 Wish me luck!! Doing it this coming weekend after I get the supplies.
I have tried and tried to change the light switch and fan in a bathroom. Two electricians advised me; one said hook up ground OR common wires but not both. That didn’t work. No power at all. The second said hook up common wires because that how the power goes out. That didn’t work. Ace hardware guy gave different advice. Another hardware store guy said hook up all the wires. Didn’t work. The closest I got was everything came on when breaker turned back on but came on in on or off position and as soon as you flipped the switch, the breaker kicked. That was the closest I got all day. Frustrated, I gave up for the day. So glad to finally find this video. It is EXACTLY what I have, color of wires, number of wires coming out, only one power source wire, everything except I only have fan and light to wire where you have three. Going to follow your steps in the morning. If I can’t get it working, hopefully will find an electrician who can actually fix it. The two I already had didn’t have a clue. One did come to the house and finally admitted he didn’t know what to do. That was after he scuffed up my newly painted wall with the screwdriver. Wish me luck!
This definately cleared up an otherwise confusing situation for me. That many switches takes a lot of wires to make it work. Is this also how a licensed electrician would hande this many switches. Im a handyman by trade and do not have electrical license so i dont always feel like i can do this kind of install. But i feel more confident now.
Thank you the video lol I have messing with this wiring for a couple hours when I gave up oddly enough when I opened up you tube your video was at the top thanks was easy to get all my switches wired and operated great 👍
That was extremely helpful. Thank you! I have two sets of wires, one for each switch, but want to add an outlet. I understand now how I can use one of the sets to add in the plug.
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful. If it was, please consider subscribing!

Great I am wiring my wife's shop and this is a good refresher.thanks
Goodness. You literally just got me out of the dark. Thank you, great video!
Does it work the same way with a plug outlet and two light switches
No. Because you’ll need the White, Neutral wire for the outlet. So you’d need to pig tail off the white wire to attach to the outlet. The hot will be pig tailed off like in this video as well.
A good/simple explanation for what I thought would be a complicated process.
Glad it was helpful. Really appreciate the feedback Roger!
Do you need to pigtail the ground wire? Can't you just connect them directly to the switch?
I believe the code is one wire per screw
No since he's connecting all the hot/ black wires together as a well as the neutral/white. So when current travels through the black they can come back on the white. And in case of a fault the power travels through the ground back to source if the neutral can't.
Since they all bonded on the same circuit
Safety.

This definately cleared up an otherwise confusing situation for me. That many switches takes a lot of wires to make it work. Is this also how a licensed electrician would hande this many switches. Im a handyman by trade and do not have electrical license so i dont always feel like i can do this kind of install. But i feel more confident now.
Thank you the video lol I have messing with this wiring for a couple hours when I gave up oddly enough when I opened up you tube your video was at the top thanks was easy to get all my switches wired and operated great 👍

That was extremely helpful. Thank you! I have two sets of wires, one for each switch, but want to add an outlet. I understand now how I can use one of the sets to add in the plug.
