4 Pull the old switch from the wall box and identify
the wires attached to it:
• Neutral wire – Usually inside the wall box with
a wire nut on the end. Not all light switches
have this wire. DO NOT install the switch
without this wire. This wire is typically white.
• Line wire – Typically a black wire that often
comes from the bottom of the wall box.
• Load wire – Typically a red or black wire that
often comes from the top of the wall box. This is
the wire that connects to your light.
• Ground wire – Normally a copper or green
color. You can still install the switch if you don’t
have this wire.
Tip: Take a picture of the old switch’s wiring for
later reference.
5 Disconnect your old light switch.
6 Use a wire nut to connect the black wire from
your switch to the line wire (typically black) in the
wall box. This wire must always have power to it.
7 Use a wire nut to connect the blue wire from your
switch to the load wire in your wall box (typically
a red or black wire).
8 If you have a ground wire, attach it to your
switch’s green wire with a wire nut.
OR
If you don’t have a ground wire, cover your
switch’s green wire with a wire nut or electrical
tape.
9 Unscrew the wire nut holding the neutral wires
(typically white) together, add the switch’s white
neutral wire, then screw the wire nut back on.
10 Wrap electrical tape around the wire nuts to
make sure that the conductors are covered.
