I was taking off a bathroom vanity light and the wires came undone.Usually, it is just a black to black, a white to white and a ground to hook up the light...but when I looked at the wires...There is a white wire coming out of the wall above the sink where I am going to put it ing out of the white wire istwo black wires caped together.two white wires caped together and one red wire caped by itself.When I hook the black and white wires on the light to the black and white wires on the wall...the light turns on, but then the wall switch will not turn off.Does anyone know how to wire this light with this wire configuration?
Your vigour wire may have a black, white and inexperienced wire. Join the white wire to the lights' white wires. Do the identical with the ground (inexperienced) wires. Join your lights' black wires together and to one part of the change. Connect your vigor black wire to the opposite swap connector. Black is the sizzling wire that you want to change on and off. Make sure you dispose of the fuse so no vigor is to the principal vigor wires.
Normally black, white and red wires signify a 3 way switch. Is there another switch that operates the lights somewhere? The red and black wires should make the bulb operate. Google wiring a 3 way light fixture and you will find the diagram. Edited to correct placement of red wire.
The red wire is the power side of the switch leg. Attach the white to white and the red to the light's black wire.
