Electrical – Wiring a combination switch/GFCI outlet with lightswitch downstream

electrical

I need some help wiring a combination switch/GFCI outlet in the following situation. The second diagram is from the instructions and seems to match my situation, however they have an outlet downstream rather than a lightswitch (is this irrelevant?) and there are 2 black cables coming from downstream which seems to be a mistake that I need clarified.


The existing wiring is a big mess:

Based on the diagram so far, here's how the GFCI switch/outlet combo should be wired:

  • Black from breaker to LINE HOT on GFCI/switch
  • White from breaker to LINE WHITE on GFCI/switch
  • White from switch-cable and white from light nutted together and pigtailed to LOAD WHITE on GFCI/switch
  • Black from switch-cable and one black from GFCI/switch nutted together and pigtailed to LOAD HOT on GFCI/switch
  • Other black from GFCI/switch nutted to black from light

(If your GFCI has the two-wire, clamp-plate terminals as in the diagram depicted, you can save a couple nuts and the pigtail wires by terminating both wires to the clamp plate instead -- they are designed to terminate two wires, one in each hole.)
