Switches for halogens
I am trying to put a switch on every one of my halogen lights. The problem is on the first one I tried I fired up the genny and it popped the breaker.
The switch has 2 wires comming from it. The light has 3 wires; black, white, and green. I tried to hook up the black and white to the 2 wires comming from the switch. I fired up the genny, the light was working, when I flipped the switch to off it popped the breaker on the genny.....
Any ideas????[:@][:@]
