Best Answer

Turn the power off to the circuit first at your Breaker/Fuse panel. Once you know that the circuit is dead, remove the old fixture.

One of the 2 wires goes on the black, the other on the white. If there's a bare ground, ground that to the junction box where the fixture is going. Secure the fixture in place with the provided hardware, and turn the power back on at the breaker/fuse panel. If you did something wrong the breaker will trip/fuse will blow.

Is there a danger if you mix up ground wire and common wire when wiring a light switch?

Power out of a switch is not negative. It is still the "hot" conductor. The ground wire in a switch junction box in home wiring is the bare wire. It is nearly impossible to mix these two wires up. Most likely if the "hot" supply comes into the switch box the neutral wire will be with it. Just wire nut the two white wires together, incoming and outgoing. The two black wires will be connected to the switch to operate the light fixture.

How do you connect multiple lights to one switch starting at the light?

You put switch in series with the black supply wire and the black wire to the first light. Then connect black wire of first light to black wire of second light, black wire of second light to third light and so forth. Do the same with the white wires and ground wires.


How two wire 2 light switch up in 1 box?

Tie all the white wires together under a wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the black incoming power wire and outgoing power wire, if there is one, together under a wire nut with a black wire pigtail. Connect this pigtail to one screw on each light switch. Connect the black wire going up to the lights to the appropriate switch you wish to use to control that light.

The dome light diagram is quite simple. all 4 of your door switches are grounded to the body where they mount. the wire leads run threw the insterment panel junction block, then out to the dome light. the dome light has a 3 contact switch, one contact being "OFF", second contact being "DOOR" and third contact being "ON".


Why would a 1997 Monte Carlo dome light flash on and off for a minute or so then stops every time the dome light is turned on?

GM Dome lights are switched on the negative wire. The power to the dome light is constant so if it can find a ground either through a stripped wire or faulty switch it will come on. Once you turn the dome light on it has a constant ground, therefore stops flashing. Most common culprits of this are the door switches witch create a ground when the doors are opened. They are located in the door jamb. Check the Dome light resistor , it should look like a flasher i think , this works as a thermal delay switch . Not sure of its location though . Also , Try to replace the bulb

I cannot provide a diagram, but it is simple. Power goes to the light, and the ground wire is use as an interupter on the door switch. The switch breaks the ground connection when the door is shut. So you should have power at the dome light if you just ground the circuit.
