If your switches are not marked on your breaker box. Turn and turn light switches one by one until the light goes off and leaves you out until the change is made. Simply unscrew the plate, then unscrew the switch old. Pull out until you can reach the cables. There should be only two wires to the switch, is a place the other is going to light the charge. There will be other cables there that have a wire nut on them, leave them alone if possible. Some of the old switches simply unscrewed and removed the wire. The new cable has the that goes in the back of the switch (except mobile homes, which can and often very different) if you have the cable that goes directly to the box, take a small screwdriver and insert the end of the right side of the cable slot. Click on it, sometimes sticking to sit for long so you may need to use some force. But once you feel the click, hold and pull the cord out. Repeat on other cable The new box will have two holes on the back simply push the cables back on. Then get all the cables in the box, and put the switch in inches (dimmers are generally slightly larger and For more coerced back into the hole. Once you get the money back to go ahead and turn on the camera and control. Looking back on the box, on both sides of the switch, ensure that no sparks. If so, there are two wires to touch and to be drawn and regroup your wire, (first turn off the electricity) If there are no sparks has done a great work, just go ahead and put the lid. Then go have a cup of coffee for a job well done.
