I had planned to get a...

    Troubleshooting a switch that does nothing

    I have a 2-way wall switch that is on a circuit for a room. The switch does nothing, although it is receiving power and when switched it does correct on/off the power to the second terminal (so the switch is working). I believe this switch is supposed to control an outlet receptical in the...
