Literally just changed one out in my son’s room. Was a b***h pushing those wires in, you made it look easy. I got so frustrated but finally got it.

@deadnthehead4557 Жыл бұрын

Also I have to mention these switches are terrible lol and frankly a little dangerous, the connection the wires have with the contacts are not enough to protect it from overheating and causing a fire. Do yourself a favor and get a box and use regular household switches. It's a little more work but totally worth it!

Thank you for posting this video. We had a major fault in an outlet where we were lucky it didn't burn down our whole 5th Wheel. When I went to get a replacement Outlet I was told that you had to buy a very expensive tool to push the wires down into the slots. After watching your video I realized that there was a different way that work just fine. I bought a brand-new similar Outlet at our local RV place for $20 and will install it tomorrow and I'm sure there's not going to be any problems after watching your video.

Whenever you run into stuff glued on like that, try using a heat gun to warm it up a little, would help a ton. You could also try a little bit of mineral spirits as long as there isn't any paint around the area or it can easily be covered up like with this face plate. Cause I know not everyone owns a heat gun, a hair dryer would do the same thing, also in place of mineral spirits, you can use nail polish remover!

@SouthernCountryLiving 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. It could possibly be a wire that has came loose inside the box causing a short. With four switches in one box, that is a lot of wires. You will need to be careful to not cause any problems with the other switches if you open it up. Calvin

@SouthernCountryLiving 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. I'm not an electrician and I doubt that I will be able to help. I will give you a couple of tips. First determine what type of switch you have. If it just turns a light or outlet on and off it is a single pole switch. If it works with another switch on another wall to control one light then it is a three way switch. Next google for wiring diagrams for the type of switch that you have. Make sure you turn the electricity off before starting to replace the switches. Use tape and label each wire before removing them. Connect each wire back to the new switch just like it was connected to the old switch. If you ask a friend or a neighbor you will probably find someone that has done it before and will be glad to help you. Good luck with your project. Calvin
