Wiring – How to wire/replace this bathroom light switch

bathroomfansswitchwiring

I have a motion sensor switch controlling bathroom light and a single pole switch controlling exhaust fan in the same box. I want to replace the motion sensor switch with a single pole switch.
Below is a link to the picture that shows how the wiring looks like in the box:

Basically, I have total 3 entry/exit points.
White wires on all 3 are connected together.
Ground wires on all 3 are connected together.
Black wire from entry point 1 goes to a splitter input.At the output of splitter 1 black wire goes to a wire connector where the black wire from motion switch is connected. 2nd output of splitter is a black wire that goes to the bottom screw on single pole switch.
There is a red wire that goes to a wire connector where the black wire from entry/exit point 2 is connected.
The top screw on single pole switch is connected to a black wire that goes to the exit point 3.

So, now I want to replace the motion switch with single pole switch. How do I alter this wiring to put single pole switch?

Best Answer

  1. Turn off the power, and verify that it's off.
  2. Remove the twist-on wire connectors that are connecting the motion sensor leads to the black wires.
  3. Connect the black wires directly to the new single pole switch.
  4. Install grounding conductors to the switches.
