I have an outdoor light fixture that I am trying to replace. Could I have damaged something when I mis-wired? In other words, it used to make the normal click noise when turned on/off but now it just moves softly up and down without the click. It seems that one of the light switches in the same circuit as the blown one is now working soft. Why would the 2 whites be tied off with only black wires used?Īnd 2. I reworked it back to the way it was before with whites tied off, black to white, black and blue to black, turned it back on and viola, things worked fine. Turned breaker on then powered on switch.

(again, knowing full well the light was working the other way). Feeling this was wrong and should be black to black, white to white, (even knowing full well the light was working fine before I disconnected it) I wired the fan the way I've always wired fan lights, white to white, blue and black to black. As I removed the old light (after turning off the breaker) I noticed from the ceiling that there were 2 white wires tied together with a wire nut and 2 black wires, one attached to the white wire in the light and the other attached to the black one from the light. I removed an old light and replaced it with a light fan combo. Hi, I recently moved into a 1954 house with a 20amp electrical system, not the old fuse type, but there are no ground wires. Thank you for all your input, have trouble falling asleep, keep thinking the house might burn down.

Please help and tell me if what have done is safe, and maybe help me figure out how to turn the fan and light on with the same switch. I my biggest fear is that I might have made a fire hazard. But what did I do wrong, why does fan work but not the light. So when I did that, when I turn the switch on, the fan turns on, but no light, also when the switch is on the outlet is hot.( which fine that is how I want it). So I put the black wires on brass and the white wires on black,( they are black screws instead of silver, not sure if I got the right kind of switch). I have two black wires, two white wires and a ground.

So what I attempted to do is put a switch outlet combo in. The wall plate is labeled: light, fan, heater.

My problem is that when I turn the switch on for the light, the light and fan turn on, when I switch the heater on, that switch does nothing, the same when I switch the fan on. Hello I need seriouse help! In my situation I have a three switch, one for the light, one for the vent fan, and one for the heater.
