I have a switch in the garage that controls the overhead light. The switch is a single pole and has three wires connected to it -- two wires that run to the top and one to the bottom. I want to change it out and put in a motion sensing switch.
I did this and found that the wiring obviously is connected as well to the garage door opener/light. And no matter what combination I connect the wires(the motion sensing switch has a hot, neutral and ground), I get either the overlight to work or the garage door opener/light, but not both.
My question: am I doing something wrong, or am I, for some reason I am not aware of, out of luck? (Or I am not including all the information you need to tell?)
Any suggestions? Thanks.
