SOURCE: wiring a 3 way switch on 1 plate to 3 lights and 2 other switches
I have a light switch at the bottom of the stairs which works 2ways can be switched on and off up and down stairs and also an out side light on the same switch which I have messed up and would like a picture of the way it should be connected.
SOURCE: how do i install a combination toggle & outlet
If I understand you question (if not please clarify) you have a switch and outlet combo and you have a box with a black and white coming in one side and a black and white going out the other side. Here's the deal the switch side only deals with the black (hot) lines but the outlet needs a common (white) line so there should be two brass posts the black coming in goes to the bottom brass post and the black going out to the light goes to the top. You should now have two silver posts and these take the white lines they are common to each other (electrically speaking that means they are two ends of the same wire to put it simply) In the event you only have one silver post tie both whites to that one. if this was a switch box the two whites would be tied together with a wire nut and shoved in the back.
good luck I hope this helps.
SOURCE: Wiring Bathroom light/vent/heater switch with 3 separate controls
Wiring a bathroom combination vent, heater, light 3 way switch means more wires. In brief, you need to run two cables - one a two wire and one a three wire from the switch to the fan.
Incoming power will have white black and ground.
The two wire cable for the switch to the fan will have wht, blk, and ground.
The three wire will have red, blk, wht, and grnd.
The switch will likely have 2 blacks and a red coming from it, with two blacks and a red on one side, and a single black on the other.
The fan should have a red, blue, green, black, and white.
On the fan end: Group all green/copper grounds together and use a wire nut to fasten them together. Tape the nut to the wires.
There will be five white wires coming through. For ease of handling, using wire nuts, connect two on one nut and three on the other.
connect the blue to a blck. Connect one red to one black, and the other red to the other black.
The switch will have one red going into the 3 wire cable, a black going to the 3 wire cable, and a black form incoming power to the side opposite the 3 wires, and a blck going to the two wire cable.
There. Confused?

I opened the box and traced the lines to see which are connected
when the switch is turned on and I left the red wire disconnected.
