What Is The Song At 1:10?
Great tutorial, but I have a strange issue. I wanted to upgrade my single toggle light switch to a push rocker switch (Leviton Decora). After removing the single toggle switch I notice it has only two screws with two black wires attached to one screw and one red wire attached to the second screw. what gives? But the replacement Leviton has 3 screws (one for grounding of course) how should I connect the wires to the new push rocker switch when the old one never had a grounding screw?
Should I connect the same as the original toggle-two blacks one screw and the red to the other? Thanks in advance if anyone has the answer.
Did you make the 4 wire video? I want to install a fan timer for my bathroom
Nice video. I have a question when I take mine off my grounds are not connected only two wires
If you have an older house, your switch box itself is probably grounded. Take a look if it has a screw or a wire going to it. If there is one, then you’re fine connecting just the other 2 wires.
Can I swap out the triple light switch for leviton rocker switches?
what if my switch doesnt have a ground wire can i still swap to a decora toggle switch without ground?
Old Houses Does Not Have A Ground But Newer Houses Requires A Ground.
What if you forget how the black wires go? how do you know which wire goes where? does it even matter? I already know the answer but you don't go into the detail of what and how all the wires really go.
2:45 if you just pay attention to the video it will show you were the wires get connected.
4:01 NEVER USE THOSE BACKSTAB HOLES DON'T BE LAZY HOWEVER WHEN YOU KEEP THOSE SCREWS TIGHTEN DOWN THAT YOU WERE NOT USING BUT THOSE SCREWS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BACKSTABS.
Why does your soundtraack sound like a russian sub disaster movie
Remember to ensure power is off at the breaker
Good video. Didn’t like the music tho. It was stressful lol.
You're not a sparky are you.
What’s with the music? Also, it’s way better to use the screws for a better connection! I’m unsubscribing.
I Agree But He Was Tightening The Screws And Screws Does Not Have To Do Anything With Those Backstab Holes.
Why music? Not here for that..too fast..clickbait..annoying.
