Please help me with wiring problem #2


Recommended Posts

Hello again.  This one is a little different.  It's the white wires that have me a little baffled, and I don't want to ruin the Insteon dimmer I'm installing.

 

The junction box has a wall plug, and a switch controlling a single ceiling light. There are 3 cables in the junction box.

 

By the way - the wall plug and the switch are on different breakers - not sure if that makes any difference.

 

Here is what is in there for cables and where the wires go:

 

1) B - load (ceiling) (was connected to 2-way switch I'm replacing)

1) W - to W from cable #2

 

2) B - line (was connected to 2-way switch I'm replacing)

2) W - to W from cable #1

 

3) B to wall plug

3) W to wall plug

 

There are no red wires anywhere in this box.

 

How should I proceed?

 

btw @kingwr - I've already vacuumed it out...

That one is straight up. Attach the W (Neutral) on the Insteon Dimmer to the Ws from cable 1 and cable 2. Attache the B (Line) from the Insteon Dimmer to the B from cable 2, and attach the Red (Load) from the Insteon Dimmer to the B on cable 1. 

 

That worked perfectly, although I suspect you knew that already!

 

Thank you!!
