How can you disable one switch of a two way lighting switch?
To disable one switch of a two-way lighting switch, you can disconnect the wire connected to that switch from the electrical circuit and cap it off with a wire nut to ensure it is not energized. Be sure to turn off the power to the circuit before attempting any electrical work and consult a qualified electrician if needed.
How do you remove the 3 wires from the back of a switch plate when they are tightly packed and will not budge?
Use a small screwdriver to carefully pry the wires away from the switch plate. If they are still stuck, you may need to cut the wires and re-strip them for a new connection. Always turn off the power before attempting to work on electrical components to avoid injury.
How many positions in a three way switch?
If a light or set of lights is able to be switched 'on' and 'off' by more than one switch then those switches are 3-way switches. 3-way switches will have 3 screws on the sides for terminating wires as opposed to 2 screws on a regular single pole switch. 3-ways will typically have 2 brass screws and one black screw called the 'common'.
