My bathroom has a light, an exaust fan, and two switches. Someone before me rewired it so one switch controls the lights and fan together, the other does nothing.
I know how to switch it back to one switch each, but what I really want to do is set it up so:
- Switch A turns on the light and fan.
- Switch B just turns on the fan.
That way we could leave the exaust fan running when needed without having to leave the lights on, but nobody could forget to turn it in when they take a shower (unless they shower in the dark).
Is there some way I can wire it to do that?
Best Answer
wire a double pole switch pole A connected to fan and pole B connected to light
have a regular single pole switch (pole A) connected to fan
