Home Improvement Asked by FixItJoe on February 26, 2021
Right when I walk in the door to the house, there are 3 switches. I want to add some can lights and make my switched outlet hot all the time. I want to know how to connect all three switches together so that I can have power to everything. (sorry that the text in the picture is hard to read, and IGNORE the red numbers)
How do I connect the power source to all of the switches, and the switches to all of the outlets/lights so that they work? Does anyone have a diagram? Thanks!
The GFCI will not make your outlets hot all the time. Your wiring must come directly from the power supply not a switch. You can do this very easily in the 3 gang switch box you have, if you have enough space by bypassing the switches and tying your wires together with wire nuts. Hot wire to hot wire, nuetrals to nuetrals, ground to ground.As for your lights you have to have your wiring from the power supply(panel box) to your switch box.Pigtail your hot wire to each switch (brass screw), pigtail ground wire to each switch (green screw). Tie all your nuetrals together with a wire nut.
