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.
No, it is not required for bathroom light switches to be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) unless they are within six feet of a sink or water source. However, installing GFCI protection can add an extra layer of safety in wet environments like bathrooms.
GFCI outlets have internal circuitry that can power the indicator light even when there is no power flowing to the outlet itself. This function allows you to easily identify if the outlet has tripped or if there is a fault in the circuit.
An indicator light on a GFCI switch is used to visually indicate whether the switch is receiving power and whether the GFCI protection is functioning properly. This helps users quickly identify any issues with the GFCI switch without having to test it manually.
The last answer is incorrect. Some GFCI's are designed to light up when working, some are designed to light up when tripped, some are designed to have different color lights depending on normal or tripped conditions. The only way to tell if the receptacle has power is to TEST it. If the GFCI is supposed to be tripped and power is still available, it is either not operating properly or it is not wired properly. If in doubt, have an electrician inspect it for proper operation. Incorrect answer: >>Provided that the GFCI is wired correctly, the indicator light indicates that the receptacles have power. If the light is off there is a ground fault. In other words, the light should always be on.
Yes, a GFCI outlet can go bad and prevent power from coming through. If the GFCI outlet is faulty or has tripped, it can interrupt the flow of electricity to the entire circuit. In this case, replacing the GFCI outlet may be necessary to restore power to the affected area.

The GFCI light may be on even if there is no power because the GFCI outlet has tripped due to a ground fault or electrical issue. This can happen to protect against electric shock. Resetting the GFCI outlet may restore power.
Ten switches commonly found at home include light switches for overhead lights, dimmer switches for adjustable lighting, outlet switches for controlling power to electrical outlets, and three-way switches for controlling lights from two locations. Additionally, you might find toggle switches for fans or appliances, rocker switches for lamps, motion sensor switches for automatic lighting, smart switches for app-controlled devices, GFCI switches for safety in wet areas, and pull-chain switches for ceiling fans or light fixtures.
GFCI outlets have internal circuitry that can power the indicator light even when there is no power flowing to the outlet itself. This function allows you to easily identify if the outlet has tripped or if there is a fault in the circuit.
The green light on a GFCI outlet indicates that the outlet is receiving power, but it does not necessarily mean that the outlet is providing power to connected devices. The lack of power could be due to a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty GFCI outlet, or a wiring issue. It is recommended to check the circuit breaker, reset the GFCI outlet, and inspect the wiring to troubleshoot the issue.
The green light on a GFCI indicates that it is receiving power, but if there is no power in the outlets connected to it, there may be a wiring issue or a tripped circuit breaker. It is recommended to check the circuit breaker and wiring connections to troubleshoot the problem.
To install a GFCI in a 3-way switch circuit, you will need to replace one of the existing switches with a GFCI outlet. Make sure to turn off the power to the circuit before starting the installation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for wiring the GFCI outlet properly, and test it to ensure it is working correctly before turning the power back on.
To wire a GFCI outlet with a light switch according to a diagram, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Connect the incoming power supply wires to the LINE terminals on the GFCI outlet. Connect the wires leading to the light switch to the LOAD terminals on the GFCI outlet. Connect the wires from the light switch to the appropriate terminals on the switch according to the diagram. Turn the power back on and test the outlet and light switch to ensure they are working properly.

Yes, the GFCI green light indicator is on.
To install a GFCI outlet with a light switch in your bathroom, you will need to first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, remove the existing outlet and switch from the wall. Install the GFCI outlet in place of the old outlet, making sure to connect the wires correctly. Next, wire the light switch to control the light fixture. Finally, test the GFCI outlet and switch to ensure they are working properly before turning the power back on.
