How do you wire one light and one GFCI and another light light and fan with two switches and one power line?
Connect the incoming power to the line side of the GFCi outlet. Now run another wire connected to the line side of the GFCI outlet from the GFCI outlet to the switches. Power one of the switches and use that switch to turn on the 2 lights. Run power from that switch to another switch and use that switch to send power to the fan. Mount both switches in a double pole switch box. If the light above the sink has an outlet on it then you will have to connect power going to that light on the load side of the GFCI outlet. If not then just connect it to the line side.
Is it normal for tester to show hot on a light switch with it in the off position and no power going to the light it controls?
Yes. Even with no power to the light, there is still power to the switch. To power off the switch you usually need to open a circuit breaker.
Why does light appears when you flick the switch?
Operating the switch completes the circuit between the power source and the bulb.
Have 3 lights Power to light 1 Need to connect light 2 then light 3 then down to single pole switch How do you wire?
You would wire the switch to the first light. Code says to break the black or power side of the circuit. Connect the white to the light. Take the black down to the switch on the black wire and back to the light on the white. This is a line of wire from the light to the switch. From the first light, take the white and the return white from the switch to the second with another run of wire. This will be regular black white with ground. White to white and at the first light the return line from the switch is white but hook to the black to the second light. Second light to third just continues the two wires. Black to black, white to white. I think this is clear enough to follow. If not, ask again.
How can you get constant power to a receptacle after a light switch?
You'd need to branch the circuit before the switch. This can be immediately before the switch, in the box that holds the switch, but you can't get constant power from a switched circuit after its been switched.
Can you power a light switch power to switch then to light from a switch beside the one you want hot the switch that you want to take power from has the white as hot switch after light?
I can not understand your question.

What is the problem on your 95 rodeo if there is power to the brake light switch and switch works but will not light any brake light?
Power is being interrupted; the turn signal switch is a power juction see if the power is flowing thru it.
What caues the tail light in the tail-brake light to burn dim when the light switch is on?
The cause of the tail light burning dim when the light switch is on could be a short in the wire or an exposed portion of wire. This can sometimes cause the bulb to lack power because the power is drawn to another area.

Yes. Even with no power to the light, there is still power to the switch. To power off the switch you usually need to open a circuit breaker.
How do you make a 2 way switch which breaks the circuit only when both the switches are turned off?
Send power to the 1st switch and then send the power from that switch when it is in the on position to the second switch. Then send power to the light from the second switch. That way both switches will have to be in the on position for the light to be on.
Is it still within code to run power from panel to light switch then to light?
You can either go to switch or to light first. I wired house for my brother ran power supply from junction box then to each switch then to light. Passed inspection no problem
Power is not off . need to change when you change the light switch?
Yes, you need to turn off the power when you change (replace) a light switch, since at least one of the terminals on the switch will always have power if the circuit is energized at the panel.
Why does bathroom light go off when you turn on bedroom light?
That's one I've never seen. Does the bathroom light turn ON when the bedroom light is switched Off? Does the bathroom light switch turn the bathroom light on and off normally when the bedroom light switch is left on? Need to answer these questions, then find where the bathroom light power comes from. It's power supply should either go directly from the power oanel to the bathroom light or to the bathroom light switch. The bathroom light switch merely acts as an interrupter for the hot leg of this power supply.
What is on off switch?
Say it is a power circuit, a light bulb is bright from the battery, flowing through the wires and the light bulb. There is a switch controling the power that goes through, so if you switched the off switch off, the power will no longer be flowing through(the light bulb wouldn't be bright any longer).

On a Pt cruiser how do you replace the power window light switch bulb?
The led light in the window switch is not replaceable. It is only serviced with the entire switch.
What is an example of a circuit?
A connection from a power source, through a load and a return back to the power source. <><><> An example: electricity is supplied to the light switch on the wall through an insulated copper wire, even though the switch is in the off position electricity is present. There is another insulated copper wire going to the light bulb. When you flip the switch the circuit is completed and the light bulb comes on.
