Find the Hot side of the switch (Where there is voltage regardless of position of toggle on switch). Tie in new Black wire to GFCI. On wire nut with white wire tie in new white wire to GFCI. Do the same for the bare ground wire, if there is one.

How do you add another porch light to an existing switch?
Piggyback off the box for the existing light. Run a wire from the existing junction box to a new junction box (which is placed wherever you want the new fixture). Then, in the existing box, connect the wire coming from the switch, the wire for the existing fixture, and the wire for the new fixture together using wire nuts. Wire up the new fixture, and presto, you have two fixtures on a switch where there was only one before.
How do you wire a new light with an on off switch using wires coming from another light?
If you have unswitched supply from a light you need to route the supply through the new switch to the new light. You want to switch the black wire and just connect the white wires together with a wirenut and connect the bare ground wires together by a separate wirenut.
Can you remove an outlet or hard wired fixture from a circuit for troubleshooting a GFCI I that won't reset?
Shut the GFCI off at the panel breaker. You can remove the down stream load right at the GFCI. Then reapply the power and keeping your fingers clear of the wire terminals, trip the GFCI and reset it. If it stays reset the trouble is down stream from the GFCI. To trouble shoot down stream remove all plugged in devices and try a reset. If still no reset remove the hot wire in the hard wired fixture and try for a reset. If still no reset buy a new GFCI.
How can an intermediate switch be used with a 2-way switch system to control a light from four floors?
A two way switch is UK terminology for a North American three way switch. Though the switch has two names it is still a Single Pole Double Throw switch that has three terminals. North American terminology. The circuit is the same as the three way switch system. To control from four locations just add another intermediate switch. For the system to work properly the new intermediate switch has to be adjacent to the existing intermediate switch. The connections must run - three way, intermediate, intermediate, three way.
How do you replace a ground fault interrupt outlet with a regular one?
I would NOT do that if I were you. If someone is electrocuted and local, county or state officials discover that the GFCI has been removed, you could have some serious problems in court.If a GFCI was installed, there was a good reason for it; electricians don't put one in unless it is required by code.If you INSIST on replacing the GFCI, connect the white wire that screws into the GFCI to the neutral bar in the breaker panel and disconnect the white pigtail that comes out of the GFCI, then connect the BLACK wire to the new breaker.

Can I install a GFCI receptacle from an existing receptacle in the basement?
Yes, there is no reason why this can not be done. In fact a benefit of this is that every receptacle downstream from this new receptacle will also be protected by the GFCI receptacle.
If I have 20 amp GFCI receptacle and would like to add another receptacle to the GFCI Does the new plug also need to be 20 amps?
Yes.
How do you install a GFCI so it is always on to a two way light switch that controls a vent and a light in a bathroom?
Your question sounds simple but it isn't. There are two ways of wiring a light to a switch. One is to bring the hot and neutral wire to the switch box and from there run wires from the switch to the light. If this is the case you can install a GFCI on the circuit. The other way is to bring the hot and neutral wire to the light and from there run two wires to the switch and switch the light that way. In this case you cannot install a GFCI to in the switch box. <<>> The way you want the circuit to work has to be laid out as follows. Method one, the circuit that now controls the bathroom devices can be changed to a GFCI breaker. This is probably the quickest and cheapest, unless the job is new construction. Method two, if new construction use this method, as tearing walls open to get to the wiring will become costly. Where a supply circuit comes from the service distribution panel the first device on that circuit has to be a GFCI receptacle. This device has secondary terminals on it, that if connected every device downstream from it will also be protected. So if you supply the two way light switch that controls the vent fan and a bathroom light from the secondary terminals from the GFCI receptacle they will be protected.
How do you hook up a light and switch from an existing light?
Add a light to switch from a different circuitI think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.
How do you wire a new light with an on off switch using wires coming from another light?
If you have unswitched supply from a light you need to route the supply through the new switch to the new light. You want to switch the black wire and just connect the white wires together with a wirenut and connect the bare ground wires together by a separate wirenut.
How do you add a one more element to existing array?
To add one more element to an existing array, allocate a new array, copy the old elements to the new elements, and deallocate the old array; updating pointers as needed.
I bought a new Xbox live subscription but i already have one can i put that one on there to?
You can add the new subscription to your existing subscription.
How do you switch the wiring from a regular light switch with three wires to a spring wound interval timer with only two wire spots?
If there are three current carrying conductors terminated on the switch you want to replace, then you can not use the new switch at this location. What it sounds like is the existing switch is part of a three way light switching circuit. Check online for images of "wiring of three way switching systems" and you will see what I mean.A regular light switch will only have two termination points on the switch. This type of switch could be a direct substitute for the interval timer switch, as both have only two terminal points.The only way that you could use the new switch in this circuit is to cut in a new junction box for the new switch adjacent to one of the existing light switch boxes. One end of the circuit would use the new switch for opening the incoming "hot" conductor or at the other end of the circuit, the new switch would open the conductor that goes to the light (load). If this method is used the existing switches will not be used for controlling the light and must be in a position so that the light will be always in the on position.If the three way switching is not needed then the existing switches can be removed and the wiring in the boxes can be rewired to accommodate the new switch and the other box would be blanked off.
Can you add formulas to an existing Excel template?
Templates can be changed, so yes you can add formulas and then save the template and have the new formulas included.
Can you add a co-borrower to an existing home loan?
No, you have to refinance the mortgage. The person you want to add to the loan needs to apply with you on the new one.
When importing data you have two choices you can create a new table or add the recordsto an existing table?
