Wall Dimmer
Dimmer switch w/ 3 wires and only 2 wall wires?
OK – I removed my old light switch and can see that there are only 2 wires coming out of the wall to be found – 1 white and 1 black. There are absolutely no other wires that I can see back there. The dimmer switch has 2 black wires and 1 green. I’m really not sure what to do. I tried to connect the 2 black ones to the black one and the green wire to the white wire. I admit this wasn’t the smartest thing, but thought I’d try. Got nothing. Any help is super appreciated.
If the 2 wires you refer to ( 1 black 1 white) were connected to the switch you took out , then attach 1 black wire from the dimmer to the black wire in the box and 1 black wire from the dimmer to the white wire in the box. The green wire is always ground and should be attached to either the metal box or if it is a plastic box to the bare wires in the box. If you just have those 2 wires in the electrical box it is known as a switch loop. If it is wired properly the power is coming in on the white wire. and when it is switched to the black wire it sends power to your light. Make your connections using wire nuts. No tape is necessary when it is done correctly. Tape is only used to insulate. Good luck.
